Hi, I’m Kerry-Ann, a Registered Social Worker in the provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. My super power is creating A Safe Space To Unmask. In sessions, I try to cultivate an environment where people feel alright being themselves, feeling their feelings, asking others for what they need, being supported as they try to heal from their past, feel empowered as they attempt to address current challenges, and feel hopeful about their ability to navigate whatever the future has in store.
I’ve been where you are, I’m no stranger to anxiety, depression, trauma, or the guilt-shame spiral. I’ve been on my own journey of courageous exploration, so I have great respect for you as you navigate your unique journey. I’m passionate about the therapeutic process and supporting change. I specialize in individual counselling because I truly believe society is structured in a way that forces us to share the stage the majority of the time. In my practice you, your needs, and your desires takes centre stage. In session with me, you will be HEARD, RESPECTED, AND SUPPORTED.
Good therapy is grounded in openness and trust. If your “spidey sense” is telling you I might be a good fit for you, then I encourage you to reach out to schedule an appointment: https://abccounselling.janeapp.com/

My journey into psychotherapy is deeply rooted in my personal experiences and passion for helping others. At the tender age of six, I witnessed the horrors of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, an event that took my parents’ lives and the majority of my family members and left me and my siblings to navigate life amidst profound trauma and loss. Growing up in orphanages and foster homes, I faced challenges that far exceeded typical childhood experiences. Despite these adversities, I found hope, resilience, and purpose.
Migrating to Canada from Rwanda in 2010 marked a turning point in my life. My journey’s struggles and triumphs have shaped my commitment to mental health advocacy and my desire to support others through their own healing processes. I believe in the power of transformation and the human spirit’s ability to overcome even the most challenging circumstances.
Approach to Therapy:
As a therapist fluent in French and English, my therapy approach is trauma-informed and person-centered. I offer culturally sensitive therapy tailored to diverse clients, BIPOC, Afro-Black communities, and beyond.
Drawing from a rich background in Clinical Counselling, my therapy is tailored to individual needs. It blends psychoeducation on brain health with evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, MBCT, ITATM, and trauma-focused therapies. I offer a supportive space to explore life challenges and improve cognitive functioning.
I confidently utilize an integrative psychotherapy approach to support my clients, whether they desire to incorporate Christian faith into their therapy sessions or not. My expertise allows me to serve individuals with or without a faith-based focus, providing comprehensive care tailored to their specific needs.
I understand that your journey is unique. I look forward to journeying with you through life’s challenges with empathy and compassion.
Your story is unique, and I would be honored to journey with you.
