Hi, I’m Melissa, I have spent most of my professional life as a teacher, early childhood educator,  wilderness rescue professional and whitewater canoe guide.  I love to get outside and enjoy meeting new people.   

Now, as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) I live and work on unceded Anishinaabe & Algonquin lands that are more commonly known to settlers as Muskoka & the Madawaska Valley. 

I offer in person therapeutic opportunities in Muskoka & the Madawaska Valley as well as virtual sessions throughout Ontario.

I believe in both structured and unstructured therapeutic opportunities that draw from Parts work, Creative Arts & Nature Activities and Mindfulness.  I am also certified to offer FLASH Zentangle trauma therapy.

If traditional structured therapy isn't for you, I am open to creative approaches that will make your support meaningful.
