Carole is a Registered Social Worker practicing counselling and psychotherapy in the Greater Niagara Region. She holds a dual BA (Psychology and Criminology), an MA (Social Justice and Equity Studies) and an MSW from Wilfrid Laurier University. She is a certified Trauma-Integrated Practitioner (ATTCH Niagara) and Certified Narrative Therapist (Sick Kids Hospital). Drawing from psychodynamic frameworks, trauma-informed thinking, gender-affirming models, and bereavement modalities, Carole prioritizes the unique story and experiences of every person she works with.
Carole’s practice is deeply informed by her work with patients, families and caregivers who have complex medical experiences including cancer, rare disease, and chronic conditions. She’s had the privilege of supporting Quality of Life and Advanced Care teams as they provide end-of-life care, and the magic of possibility, to children with serious illnesses.
As a member of the World Professional Association of Transgender Health, Carole is trained to support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. She is qualified to conduct secondary surgical assessments for transition-related surgeries for trans people.
Outside of therapy, Carole is usually found in a crunchy old antique shop, reading a Stephen King book, watching true-crime documentaries or travelling to small towns in Ontario with her family.
