HI, I’M MAGGIE.
I’m an EMDR certified, trauma-informed, attachment-based Registered Psychotherapist (RP) working online with individual and couples in Toronto and across Ontario. I’m also a Clinical Supervisor and the founder and Clinical Director of Good People Therapy, an online boutique therapy clinic offering attachment-based psychotherapy.
I use compassion-forward, evidence based approaches to explore patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours and identify areas where you might be getting stuck. Understanding that trauma is stored in the body, we will also explore somatically what’s happening and working in this way can be really helpful in moving through things that aren’t necessarily cognitive or rational issues.
We’ll explore the ways that your early experiences may be impacting your present-day experiences of being in the world. We won’t dwell in the past, but moving into a life that feels more meaningful and connected means dismantling some of these old ways of thinking and understanding yourself.
I graduated from the Toronto Institute of Relational Psychotherapy (TIRP), and additionally completed 2 years at the Ontario Psychotherapy and Counselling Program (OPC). Some of the other trainings I have completed include Somatic Embodiment, Affect Regulation, Relational Gestalt Practice and sexual health counselling. I am in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a member of the Ontario Society for Registered Psychotherapists (OSRP) and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).
I practice from a feminist, queer, and anti-oppressive framework. Everyone is very much welcome in my practice.
