Meet your Psychologist

Hi! I'm Kelsie, Registered Psychologist and founder of Keep Glowing Psychology. For the past 7 years, I have been helping people take control of their lives. I help them overcome anxiety and problematic behaviours that result from stress.

If you want tools and strategies to overcome any problem, you are in the right place!

It takes tremendous courage and strength to make the first steps and reach out. We all need a little extra support and guidance at various points in our lives. That's what I'm here for! Whatever you are struggling with, there is hope and there is a way to get unstuck.

I respect and appreciate when clients trust me with sensitive topics. I am often inspired by the unique world views, experiences, and people's capacity to heal, grow, and learn new skills.

I am passionate about helping people overcome hardships and live to their full potential. I use several evidence-based techniques to help my clients overcome various life challenges. Using a trauma-informed, collaborative approach with clients, we set goals and tailor treatment to fit their unique needs and strengths. A common theme I have noticed in my work is the connection between anxiety, perfectionism, and people pleasing. This is something I have helped many clients overcome by focusing on developing self-compassion and building emotional regulation skills. I truly enjoy helping people develop lasting, meaningful change in their lives.

I strive to be non-judgmental and foster a person-centered approach. People have told me that I have a warm, empathetic style which offers safety. I integrate aspects of cognitive behavioural (CBT), dialectical behavioural (DBT), solution-focused, acceptance and commitment, and mindfulness-based modalities into my work. I am also trained in EMDR.

Change happens both through relationship building and increased self-awareness. Recognizing patterns that keep people stuck and working to change those patterns is the best way to make lasting change.
