Life can be overwhelming, and navigating emotions, relationships, and personal challenges isn’t always easy. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients gain clarity, build resilience, and develop a healthy relationship with themselves and others.

I have a decade of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, substance use, emotional regulation difficulties, ADHD, self-confidence issues, imposter syndrome, relationship challenges, and anger management. My therapeutic approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and other evidence based approaches.

I specialize in working with adults facing grief and loss, as well as the impact of past and present trauma, helping them process emotions and find a way forward. As a Doctor of Psychology with a specialization in grief counseling and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, I bring deep expertise to my practice. I am registered with CPBAO in Ontario, Canada, as a C. Psych Assoc. (Supervised Practice) and am a fully licensed Clinical Psychologist with the Nigerian Association of Clinical Psychologists (NACP).

I believe that Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I strive to create a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, gain self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I offer a free 20-minute consultation to explore how we can work together. Let’s start building the path toward the best version of yourself.

Trauma Specialist

Hello and welcome, I am so glad you are here.

I am Allison, I am a registered social worker with an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work. I value diversity and inclusion. You are welcome here.

Having worked for over 3 decades with individuals, couples and families, I understand and appreciate the complexities of historical, societal, cultural and structural impacts on people. I understand how early relationships and attachments impact our development and I help my clients to understand how their experiences shape their views of the world and themselves so they may see themselves with more compassion.

My practice is collaborative, your voice and your goals are central to the work we do. There is no “one size fits all” treatment so we will explore the best course of treatment for you. My treatment approaches draw heavily on Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) however, my vast education and experience in other therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) complement these modalities where needed.

My priority is to create a safe space where you can explore your inner world with warmth, curiosity and compassion. Traditionally, symptoms are regarded as illness but the truth is that they are communications and they guide us in our work showing the way toward healing.

For Couples

I love working with couples using the Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO) modality. IFIO helps identify protective strategies or patterns of communication that are getting in the way of the couple getting what they need in the relationship. Together, we will work toward a different kind of communication; one that builds the connection you have always wanted.

If you would like to discuss how we might work together, please feel free to book a free 20 minute consultation.

I look forward to meeting you.

Warmly,

Allison
