Meet Fawn

My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
  • The challenges of living and working in small communities – I understand the complexities of maintaining privacy, setting boundaries, and navigating close-knit relationships.

  • Generational cycles of trauma, addiction, and workaholism – Having witnessed and reflected on these patterns, I know how deeply they shape identity, relationships, and self-worth.

  • The power of resilience and self-discovery – I believe in the strength of the human spirit and the possibility of healing, no matter how long you've carried your burdens.

  • The importance of culturally responsive care – Particularly in working with rural Indigenous communities, I recognize the need for respect, understanding, and an approach that honours traditions and spiritual beliefs.

  • The emotional weight of caregiving – Whether you're a professional, a family caregiver, or supporting a loved one at the end of life, I understand the exhaustion, love, and grief that come with it.

  • The need for setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care – Especially for those in helping roles, learning to balance giving to others while protecting your own well-being is essential.

My clients describe me using words like…
  • Compassionate

  • Dedicated

  • Empowering

  • Trustworthy

  • Insightful

  • Authentic

  • Adults facing major life transitions – Whether it’s grief, aging, career shifts, or relationship changes, they’re seeking guidance in uncertain times.

  • Those who’ve been taught to ‘tough it out’ but want a different way – Individuals realizing that healing doesn’t have to mean suffering in silence.

During your free consultation, we’ll go over…
  • What brings you to therapy – Whether you're facing specific challenges or just feel "stuck," we’ll explore what you hope to gain from counseling.

  • Your background and experiences – I’ll ask about key aspects of your life, including work, family, relationships, and any past therapy experiences.

  • My approach and how I work – I’ll explain my humanistic, client-centered style, so you can see if it’s a good fit for you.

  • Any questions or concerns you have – This is your time to ask about therapy, my process, or anything else that’s on your mind.

  • Next steps – If we decide to work together, we’ll discuss scheduling, fees, and how we’ll move forward at a pace that feels right for you.

  • This is a no-pressure conversation—just a chance to see if we’re the right fit. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, heard, and supported from the start.

If we work together you can expect me to…
  • Meet you where you are – There’s no pressure to “have it all figured out.” We’ll go at a pace that feels right for you.

  • Create a safe, non-judgmental space – You can be your full self here—messy, vulnerable, uncertain—without fear of judgment.

  • Help you reconnect with your strengths – Even if you feel lost or overwhelmed, we’ll uncover the resilience and wisdom already within you.

  • Challenge unhelpful patterns – Whether it’s generational cycles, burnout, or people-pleasing, we’ll work on shifting what no longer serves you.

  • Support you in setting boundaries – Especially if you’ve been taught to put others first, we’ll work on creating space for your own needs.

  • Honor your cultural and personal identity – Your beliefs, values, and lived experiences matter. I’ll respect and integrate them into our work together.

  • Walk alongside you with honesty and compassion – Therapy isn’t about me telling you what to do—it’s about us working together to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life.

  • Ultimately, my goal is for you to leave therapy feeling heard, empowered, and more at home in yourself.

Booking FAQ

Does Fawn offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?

First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.

How do I know if Fawn is a good fit?

You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.

What if I see no available times to book a session?

If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can contact Fawn to see what times they have available.

Can I contact Fawn before booking an appointment?

If you still have questions before booking that can’t be answered during your free consultation, you can contact Fawn using this form.
