Do you ever get frustrated at yourself for doing things that you know aren't good for you? (I'm going to guess yes, because you're a human).

Although it might feel counterintuitive, recognizing and honouring how we cope can be an important part in shifting away from them.

Therapists hear the phrase "protecting my peace" used all the time. Do I think it can be important to do this? Yes. Do I also think it gets misused all the time? Absolutely.

Its often used to enable ourselves to avoid, skip out on the hard stuff, and keep our world smaller.

There are so many things that make it easier (or harder) to initiate tasks. Needing external accountability to give you the extra push isn't a moral failing, it's likely how you're brain is wired. This can ring even more true if you experience executive dysfunction tied to things like ADHD.

TLDR; You're not lazy for finding the motivation to clean when other people come over, it's just how your brain is wired.

When most people start their search for a therapist, it’s often during a crisis — burnout, relationship conflict, anxiety, or grief. While therapy is incredibly effective for addressing mental health concerns, that’s only part of the story.
Therapy isn’t just about solving problems. It’s also a powerful space for personal growth, self-discovery, and emotional expansion. More people are choosing therapy not because something is “wrong,” but because they want to understand themselves more deeply, improve relationships, and live more intentionally.
If you’ve ever wondered whether therapy could benefit you even when life feels “fine,” this post is for you.

Welcome!

My name is Kathleen and I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Accredited Music Therapist. If you are here, perhaps you are looking for support in navigating life's roadblocks, seemingly big or small. I believe that everyone has the strengths and resources to create change and healing in their own life. In my work, I use a holistic and strengths-based approach to promote psychological, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This means that we use your own strengths and abilities to work towards making positive change and becoming the fullest version of yourself.

As an Accredited Music Therapist, I am trained to use music in all forms in psychotherapy sessions. This could include listening, making, or creating music. How we choose to incorporate music depends on your strengths, interests and goals. For many people, music is already important for well-being. Music psychotherapy provides an opportunity to bring music's inherent therapeutic power into sessions! There is no musical background necessary to benefit from services.

I specialize in working with teenagers and adults looking to better their mental health and well-being. My clinical experience includes work in mental health care across the lifespan, and in dementia care. I have experience working with individuals with a wide range of mental health issues including mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders and, post-traumatic stress disorder. In addition to being the owner and lead therapist at KS Therapy Services, I work in the Child and Adolescent Mental Health program at Grand River Hospital.

Thanks for stopping by! If you would like to learn more, feel free to check out the my website or book a free initial consultation.
