Hi, I’m Katrina—a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with over 15 years of experience. I work with youth (16+) and adults navigating addiction, trauma, PTSD, mental health challenges, and burnout. I also provide recovery coaching and sober companion support, primarily for individuals in recovery, with support available for families impacted by addiction.
With over 17 years in recovery myself, I understand the courage it takes to rebuild your life. I also know the pain of loving someone in active addiction—where enabling, boundaries, and heartbreak often collide. These experiences shape my approach, which is rooted in authenticity and a deep respect for the non-linear nature of healing.
My approach is trauma-informed and combines evidence-based practices—including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills, Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed therapy, strengths-based and relational approaches, and somatic/nervous system regulation. Alongside these methods, I bring the perspective of lived experience with addiction, mental health challenges, and neurodivergence, which allows me to meet clients with both compassion and authenticity.
Recovery isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress, resilience, and self-compassion. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines professional expertise with lived understanding, I welcome you to reach out.
