Anthea is skilled to integrate spirituality into her professional therapeutic care of supporting clients struggling with purpose in life, faith, core beliefs and intergenerational family value systems that inform who we are and what we do.

Foundationally, Anthea uses Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), an integrative strength-based attachment therapy which explores deep trauma and issues with attunement to the mind, body (somatic) and emotions.

She also uses Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Solutions-Based Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other therapy models as suited to the individuals’ needs.

Anthea completed her Honors Business Administration Bachelors (HBA) degree from the Richard Ivey School of Business at Western University and has over 20 years of broad business management and leadership experience. Anthea is passionate about holistic healthcare and gained her therapeutic and spiritual care professional skills through her Masters (MPS) program in Psychotherapy & Spiritual Care at University of Toronto.

As she layers on her mental health expertise with her business background, she finds her rich problem-solving, strategic management and people leadership experience augmenting her counselling capacity.
