“Parenthood doesn’t just bring a new child into the world – it brings about a whole new you. I work with parents to help them reconnect with themselves, strengthen their relationship with their children, and work with thoughts that get in the way so that they can get back to what’s most important.”

DEPRESSION
“I provide a supportive, non judgemental space for you to explore your feelings, challenges, and emotional blocks that may arise in your unique journey in parenthood. Using evidence-based approaches, we can help you regain confidence in your abilities as a parent and find ways to connect with yourself and your family in a curious, compassionate way”
I feel deeply honoured to be trusted with clients’ stories, thoughts, and emotions. Creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood is at the heart of my work.
My style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating – we can explore hard things in a way that feels supportive, human, and, when appropriate, even a little light. I value authenticity and humour, and I always aim to show up as a human first, therapist second while I’m in the room with you.
I have a particular passion for working with parents, supporting unique identity shifts, emotional load, and relational changes that come with raising children. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, or simply wanting to feel more like yourself again, we can work together in a way that fits your life and values.
I tailor my approach to each person’s personality, needs, and goals – there is no one-size-fits-all therapy here! Together, we’ll find strategies and insights that feel practical, meaningful, and sustainable.
Some of the evidence-based approaches I draw from include:
-Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
-Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
-Gottman Method (Level One)
My goal is for you to feel supported, empowered, and equipped with tools – while also holding space for the deeper emotional work that creates lasting change.
I have specialized training in perinatal mental health, trauma, couples therapy, and supporting the queer community. My main therapeutic approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Inner child work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).
In addition to my work with clients, I am passionate about helping to train new and emerging clinicians. I believe that quality, empathetic, and honest supervision provides the framework for new clinicians to develop confidence in themselves which trickles down to the work they’ll do with clients they see.
I am a Validated Supervisor with the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP), and provide Clinical Supervision to other Registered Psychotherapist (RP’s) or students aspiring to become an RP. Clinical supervision is available online, in individual, dyadic, and group formats. You can find out more about my clinical supervision services by clicking here.
I’m a wife and a mama to three sweet little ones, a rescue dog, and a sassy cat. When I’m not in the therapy room, you can find me spending time in nature with my family, hiking on one of the many beautiful trails we have in Hamilton or working in my garden. I am also a passionate yogi, and love incorporating movement and breath work into my own life.
I am a fierce advocate for mental wellness, especially in the perinatal period. I have found great benefit from the supportive, safe, and empathetic environments that therapists have provided for me, and it is a great privilege to be in a role where I can provide this to clients I see.
I would be honoured to connect with you in a free consultation to see if we would be a good fit in working together.
