Klara

As a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Spiritual Care Practitioner,  over the past 20 years, I have trained and worked in different healthcare settings. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Tyndale Seminary and a Master’s in Health Sciences from the University of Toronto. Through my experiences, I’ve learned that integrating physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual health is essential for whole-person care. 

Caring for the most vulnerable, I have learned that cultivating safety is the most important ingredient of the therapeutic relationship.  I am mindful of the vast presence and many impacts of trauma. This shapes my interactions with all. 

In psychotherapy, there’s no one “right way” to do therapy, but each therapist has their unique style. I believe in working together, good therapy is a partnership. 

I’m not the right therapist for everyone, but I might be for you. We start by making a connection,  listening, and guiding you toward insights and personal growth, or in other words, meeting you where you are to get you where you want to be. My objective is to support you in achieving your goals, enhancing resilience, and elevating your overall quality of life.  I hope that in the process, you will recover de-fragmented parts of yourself and ultimately heal.

I’m based in Hamilton, where nature inspires my outdoor therapy sessions. Surrounded by scenic trails and Lake Ontario, I work in the outdoor space to foster inner healing through connection with nature.  

I provide sessions in person in the office, online and outdoors through walk and talk.
