About Louise & Work Portfolio
Louise is an experienced Canadian journalist who began her career in health and science writing by focusing on health promotion and advocacy work for non-profit organizations.
As her own family grew, Louise’s interests naturally shifted to topics related to family life and parenting, and she’s been publishing in those areas for many years.
Her passion for hearing family stories and exploring the power of storytelling led Louise to pursue a graduate degree in counselling psychology as a second career. She is fully-qualified as a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario working with individuals and couples using a non-pathologizing, person-centred, trauma-informed and culturally-sensitive approach.
Louise has contributed to several mainstream media platforms. Her writing can be found: The Washington Post, The Globe and Mail, Today’s Parent, Huffington Post, Toronto Star and SavvyMom. In 2017, she was honoured with a National Magazine Award for a collaborative package in Today’s Parent magazine. A list of Louise’s bylines can be found here. She also contributes regularly to CBC Radio syndicated shows as an expert in mental health.
Louise holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Science, a Master of Science degree in Reproductive Biology, a Master of Arts degree in Journalism, and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. She is currently accepting a limited number of clients in private practice.
