Life Celebrant & Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
A Secular Ministry
Everyone deserves the opportunity to share the most significant moments of their lives with community and family, whether or not they practice a formal religion. That’s where I come in. I am a licensed wedding officiant in the province of Ontario, and I am a designated minister who approaches funerals, celebrations of life, weddings, commitment ceremonies, christenings, and baby naming ceremonies, from an open-minded, client-focused perspective. I provide support and conduct ceremonies for life's important moments without religious elements, though I am also happy to serve religious and interfaith clients as well. My focus is on inclusivity and honouring diverse beliefs and backgrounds.
“Having Catherine as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. She was so gentle, calming, professional & eloquent. She made our ceremony one of the best highlights of the day! We can't thank her enough.”

Counselling
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) currently completing my graduate studies in counselling psychology through Spring 2027. I support individuals, couples, and partners navigating anxiety, grief and loss, relationship and intimacy concerns, identity and self-esteem, and significant life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and compassionate, creating space for you to explore what you’re feeling, better understand yourself and your relationships, and find meaningful ways forward through periods of change, uncertainty, and growth.
In-person and remote options for counselling
I have both in-person (Niagara Falls) and virtual sessions available to my clients. Care is taken to ensure intimacy and privacy for all sessions, whether online or in person.
