Kiersten (she/her) is a Registered Provisional Psychologist with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Queen's University, and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Saskatchewan. After two decades of experience as a geologist and leader in the Energy Industry, her gender transition in 2017 enhanced her empathy for others and ignited a drive to be part of providing inclusive and culturally sensitive support. Ultimately, this journey inspired her to pursue psychology and develop a new skill set to pay forward the support she received in her journey.
Kiersten approaches counselling with an anti-oppressive lens and strives to amplify and celebrate the intersectionality of every person's individual experience. She believes we all have authentic strengths and, therefore, approaches therapy as a collaboration, positioning herself as an affirming, safe, and consistent partner who is motivated to help you recognize and reinforce your strengths. Kiersten is passionate about utilizing elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and a continual drive to explore, learn, and utilize approaches which feel comfortable and authentic for you.
In working together, Kiersten considers it a privilege and honor to be part of your journey while ensuring a therapeutic environment rich in curiosity, empowered exploration, and consistent unconditional positive regard.
