Life is a journey filled with transitions, challenges, and moments of self-discovery. You may be experiencing a career change, grief, a relationship shift, or personal evolution. You may be struggling to navigate stress, burnout, and anxiety, or wanting to start the process of healing from the experiences of your past. You may be wanting personalized and empathetic guidance in exploring these unique experiences and transformative phases. Regardless of why you have found yourself seeking support, I am glad you have.

I believe in working together as a team throughout the therapeutic journey. I aim to provide a compassionate, authentic, and supportive space where you and I can work towards fostering a deeper understanding of your experiences, find ways to address and manage challenges, or start the profound journey of healing. I focus on utilizing self-discovery, empowerment, values, and identity to support you in embracing change with confidence, while working towards a path of inner well-being and personal growth.

Professional Background

I graduated from the University of Guelph, with an Honours Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and I obtained my Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

I specialize in guiding individuals through life transitions, helping them explore and understand their values and identity. My focus includes supporting clients in coping with stress, burnout, anxiety, grief, and depression, while fostering a deeper self-awareness. I provide a compassionate approach to addressing trauma, empowering individuals on their journey to self-discovery and healing. I offer relationship and couples therapy with a focus on building strong, healthy, and fulfilling romantic connections. Additionally, I aim to create a comfortable and affirmative space for members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community to discuss and explore.

I have specialized training in somatic interventions, grief and bereavement, relationship therapy, and working with the LGBTQ2S+ community. My main
therapeutic approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Parts Work/Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness-based Interventions, Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered, and Gottman Method. Though these are my approaches, I will aim to get to know you and then build an integrative, compassionate, and personalized journey to support you towards inner well-being and growth.

On a Personal Note…

When I am outside my role as therapist you will find me going for walks, watching comedy, cooking, and writing poetry. I am passionate about learning about health and wellness, and you will often find me with a book in my hand or several tabs open, researching ways to support myself and others.

My journey to psychotherapy came from my own challenges as an adolescent and young adult. Throughout my life, I have sought out support and engaged in self-reflection to gain an understanding of my past and my present and gain the skills to navigate my future. I understand that life can throw curveballs at you and those times can result in feelings of stress, grief, burnout, and sadness. Due to my personal experience with these feelings, I understand the importance of support that is compassionate, empathetic, non-judgmental, and collaborative.
