Hello, I am Melissa!
As a registered psychologist, university instructor, yoga teacher & lifelong learner, I love empowering people to live fully.
My Mission: To empower compassionate souls to love themselves unconditionally.
I have earned my Ph.D., Master of Counselling, & Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. With a keen interest in mindfulness, authenticity, well-being & relationships, I believe that in order to care for others, we must first take good care of ourselves.
From a nurturing attachment-based approach, I aim to provide support as we discuss the importance of love, mindfulness, hope, joy, curiosity, self-compassion, purpose as well as the barriers to connection: worry, guilt, sadness, hurt, fear, stress, & overwhelm. Drawing on an integrative & client-centred approach to counselling, I offer individual, family & couples counselling, as well as trauma-informed Yoga Psychology offerings.
As a Métis citizen and the past-Chair of the Counsellors for Social Justice chapter of the Canadian Counselling Association, I believe we can all advocate for equity. Where do we start? By cultivating relationships and learning from others.
Looking forward to connecting with you!
