Now Accepting New In-Person & Virtual Clients Across Ontario

Hi, I'm Maggie!

I am a registered social worker and therapist located in Hamilton, ON. I see individuals virtually across Ontario and specialize in therapy for individuals and families suffering from anxiety, depression, and past trauma.

I view therapy as a relationship, and I plan on being an active part of that relationship. I am here to listen, empathize, and validate. I am also here to provide tools, perspective, and guidance. I am radically myself in therapy sessions in the hopes that you will be too.

Getting Started Is Simple.

My therapy services are priced at $140/hour and are often covered by extended benefit plans.

That said, the initial consultation is always free.

I understand that starting therapy can be overwhelming so I’ve broken it into 3 easy steps.

How I work...

Step 1: Start Your Journey

In this phase, my role is...


1) To get to know you and help you feel comfortable, validated, seen, and heard, and


2) To assess your history, your needs, and develop a tentative plan for our work together.

Your role here is to simply be open and honest, to assess if you feel like we are a good fit for each other, and to pin down your focus/goals for therapy.

Step 2: The Work

In this phase, we begin to actively work on the symptoms, patterns, and challenges that brought you into therapy.

This phase will look different for everyone depending on what we decide to work on together.

This may include body based skills and knowledge, new insights into your experiences and behaviours, and will likely include “homework” for you to practice out in the world.

Step 3: Maintenance

Once you feel you have seen the changes you were looking for, we may see each other less frequently or you may choose to take a break from therapy.

During this time, we focus on keeping up the gains you have seen during our time together.

Alternatively, you may choose to focus on an area we have not tackled yet. If so, we cycle back into “the work” for another round.
