My approach is relational and person-centered. I believe that it is important for people to feel comfortable and at ease for therapy to be most effective, and I believe that no two people require the same approach. I am collaborative in my practice, so we would work together to determine where to focus and how to get there. Additionally, I pride myself on being flexible in my approach. Sometimes people need a safe space and safe person to process things out loud, and sometimes they need to be redirected to focus on goals. I’m here to walk with you in whatever it is you might need.

People often describe me as kind, sensitive, and respectful. Since I was 16, I knew I wanted to be a counsellor and walk alongside people on their healing journey. My values are connection, inclusion and empathy. I am big fan of Brene Brown, fellow social worker, who has done a lot of research on connection and vulnerability. Unfortunately, sometimes our culture inhibits true genuine connection with other people. I believe therapy should feel like your favorite article of clothing, the one that fits just right, and you buy it in multiple colours. I pride myself on being highly empathic and sensitive, something I used to be ashamed of, but in doing my own work I embrace this amazing part of myself. Sometimes we just need someone to be there, creating a safe space for us to share our story and allow us to bring our brave and vulnerable selves into therapy without being afraid of being judged.

Specializing in child (aged 6+) and adolescent anxiety, self esteem, child-parent relationships, and parenting.

I offer a laid back and authentic environment in our sessions where you can be your true self. I am here to be on your team and support you where you are at, judgement free, making sure you feel seen, heard and important- because you are! I value a flexible and collaborative approach, knowing that everyone will have unique needs. Therapy looks different for everyone, for some it is a safe space to explore themselves, others want to feel the feels, some want solutions, and sometimes we just need somebody to be witness to our experiences. I believe therapy can be thought provoking, healing and transformative and it might include some tears and laughter along the way.

I’m Allegra (pronounced Ah-lee-gra) and I am the Founder and Clinic Director of Kindred Roots - a practice that is redefining traditional therapy.

I believe that a successful therapeutic relationship is built on trust, authentic connection and clients seeing me as a real person, not a clinical robot. My ideal client is not based on a problem but rather on personality.

I often work with those who want to heal from trauma, end relentless self-criticism and challenge their exhausting people-pleasing. My clients are aiming to have a deep connection with their true selves so they can live an intentional life of purpose and authentic happiness. I am formally trained in EMDR and CBT modalities, though my approach is flexible.

Come as you are: whether you are wearing your pajamas, haven’t showered in a week or look like you are about to walk a red carpet - I will accept you free of shame or judgement (and trust me, I’ll likely be in a hoodie too). For more information, check us out on Instagram on @kindredrootstherapy - or, our website www.kindredroots.ca

People often describe me as a dependable, caring and outgoing. Being a new mom has taught me so many life lessons about being flexible, setting up boundaries, embracing mess and chaos and learning how to reach out for help. Change is constant and figuring out how to let go of some of my A type tendencies has reminded me to work on acceptance and embrace new challenges. As a therapist I bring a laid back, gentle, supportive, and collaborative approach.

Much of my social work career was spent working in the hospital system. I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people during their most challenging times in life. Witnessing people’s strength and resiliency during trying times is what drives me to do the work I do and to continue to show up for people.
