Ellie’s extensive experience providing therapy includes working with the adoption community in Vancouver, supporting teens and families in community mental health in Scarborough and, most recently, almost a decade working at Toronto’s renowned SickKids and Women’s College Hospitals. Her areas of expertise include supporting people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, somatization, ADHD, perfectionism, grief, loss and relationship distress. She has an additional speciality in providing therapy for people living with Tourette’s Syndrome through CBIT. 

Ellie’s practice is informed by evidence-based modalities such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, Self-Compassion and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She especially values the link between our minds, bodies, brains and the relationships in our lives, and how all of these connect to our wellbeing.

When not at work, Ellie enjoys walking in High Park with her dog Friday (aka “Monster”), and trying out a new recipes, from homemade cherry-almond ice cream to cold noodle salad. She’s also been known to start soup clubs at work. Ellie has learned a great deal from being a busy working mom to two daughters, who are now aged 18 and 22. She also values their movie and music recommendations, and can’t wait to start seeing live music again.
