About Me

Hello, I’m Cleo and I’m the founder and clinical director of North Star Therapy. I have over 20 years experience working as a social worker. Over this time, I have grown and developed a practice that is rooted in the philosophy that we all have the innate capacity to heal. I am passionate about helping clients connect with their strength and resilience, as well as the soft, vulnerable parts of themselves. As we face struggles, it is these soft places that often toughen up over time. Through insight oriented learning and experiential exploration, I will help you reconnect with these parts in order to feel more whole–a process of coming home to your “Self”.

Through my own experience as a client, I know that reaching out for help can feel daunting. My approach is warm, collaborative and curious. I am committed to creating a safe and empathic space to begin your therapy journey. I work primarily through an attachment-based and trauma-informed lens, using Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) as main modalities for treatment. I will work with you to uncover emotional patterns that no longer serve you. Together we can transform these patterns and find new and healthy ways to navigate them.

I provide individual psychotherapy, relationship counselling, clinical consultation and supervision, in addition to teaching workshops and professional development training. I have extensive post-graduate training and stay current with new research through ongoing professional development.

My hope is that through our work together you will feel heard, validated and seen, while making the meaningful changes you want to see in your life. Thanks for taking the time to get to know a little more about me. I look forward to working with you!
