About Karoline:

Some of us need someone who understands how our brain works, how we learn, and what actually helps us feel better.

Karoline has spent over three years working one-on-one with children with autism as a behavioural therapist and two years as an instructor at a learning centre. That’s thousands of hours learning how kids think, what motivates them, and how to meet them where they are. She knows how to adapt her approach when a child is struggling, how to celebrate small wins, and how to help kids build confidence through practical skills they can use right away.

That foundation shapes how Karoline works with everyone—children (6+), teens, adults, and seniors dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, emotional regulation, and life transitions.

She’s trained in Play Therapy and uses approaches like CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. Her background in neuroscience helps her explain what’s happening in the brain in ways that make sense to kids and parents alike.

What clients appreciate is that Karoline doesn’t just focus on problems. She helps people understand their emotions, develop coping skills, and build real resilience. She’s particularly skilled at grief work, supporting individuals and families through loss and difficult transitions with patience and care. And because she’s bilingual in English and Arabic, she can connect with families from diverse cultural backgrounds in their preferred language.

Karoline earned her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and her Bachelor of Arts in Neuroscience from the University of Toronto. She’s completed Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 and is currently working through a Family Therapy program because she believes in always learning better ways to help.

Karoline knows how to help people feel better and do better.

A psychotherapist (also commonly referred to as a “therapist” or a “counsellor”) helps with emotional and mental health problems in individuals, couples, and families through a variety of therapeutic approaches.  In 2007, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) defined psychotherapists in Ontario as “regulated health professionals,” which means that all psychotherapists in Ontario need to be licensed members of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and to utilize the formal title of “Registered Psychotherapist (RP).”

A Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) holistically believes that your relationships with others (for example, with your family members) represent an essential aspect of your life and personal well-being and that your counselling process is more effective if he or she fully considers all of your relationships within her or her treatment plan for you.  A Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) is a Pre-Clinical Fellow within the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT).

A psychotherapist (also commonly referred to as a “therapist” or a “counsellor”) helps with emotional and mental health problems in individuals, couples, and families through numerous therapeutic modalities.  A psychologist may work in a variety of possible roles, from teaching psychology courses in universities and engaging in academic research to counselling clients and administering advanced psychological assessments.  A psychiatrist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment (mainly through psychotropic medication) of mental or psychiatric disorders.  A social worker helps people to resolve issues of everyday life (including through counselling services) and to access government and community resources.

No, your therapist is not a medical doctor and cannot prescribe medication.  To obtain a prescription for medication, please speak with your family doctor or request a referral for an appointment with a psychiatrist.
