Registered Psychotherapist

M.A., B.A.

About

Summer is a Registered Psychotherapist who brings a calm, thoughtful presence to her work and places strong value on creating a space where clients feel seen, heard, and respected. Her path into psychotherapy was shaped by both personal experiences and years of working closely with children and families.

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, Summer worked as an Educational Assistant and Behavioural Therapist Assistant, supporting children with a wide range of abilities and developmental needs. This experience continues to inform her patient, practical, and compassionate approach to care.

Approach

Summer works with children, teens, adults, and couples who are navigating anxiety, stress, low confidence, overthinking, and relationship challenges. Her approach is collaborative, clear, and grounded, with an emphasis on helping clients better understand themselves, build practical coping tools, and feel more capable in their daily lives and relationships.

She draws from Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed therapy. Her work balances warmth and encouragement with structure and direction, supporting meaningful and sustainable change over time.
