- Carl Rogers, On Becoming a Person
Hi, I'm Josi. I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario with training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. My relational, humanistic, and person-centred approach allows me to support people from all backgrounds with warmth and understanding.
Becoming a therapist is a long-held dream. My own therapy journey began when I faced exhaustion and a health crisis, revealing how much pressure I put on myself. That experience grounds my work every day.
Throughout my highs and lows, my journey in therapy remains grounding and transformative. It helps me embrace all parts of myself and guides me to nurture healthier relationships with myself and others.
When I'm not working, I find peace watching birds and squirrels, drawing inspiration from the gentle reminders nature offers about time. I'm also passionate about photography and the mystic arts, which invite me to notice beauty in small moments.
If you're feeling lost or overwhelmed, I'm here to help you find your calm and reconnect with yourself. Reach out to schedule a session.

I acknowledge that I am a guest on the lands in which I live and work. These lands are the ancestral and traditional territories of
📍 Anishinaabe: Ojibwe, Odawa, Potawatomi, and Wendat Nation (Huron) - Ontario - native-land.ca
I am grateful for the opportunity to reside here, and I recognize these lands were settled through unjust means that continue to cause harm. Part of my accountability as a caring professional is to understand the impacts of colonization and to commit to practicing in ways that support decolonization and right-relationship.
