“As a therapist, my priority is to be there for my clients—to provide a steady, compassionate and empathic presence as they navigate life’s challenges. Together, we’ll create a space for healing, self-discovery, and meaningful growth.”
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving you unsure of where to turn. Whether you’re starting therapy for the first time or continuing your journey, I’m here to help you gain clarity, build confidence, and navigate life’s challenges.
I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions while discovering practical tools to overcome obstacles. My approach is compassionate and tailored to you as an individual—I meet you where you are, working with your goals and aspirations to help you cultivate resilience, confidence, and harmony.
Finding the right therapist is an important part of your journey. I invite you to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we would be a good fit.
I completed my Social Services Worker diploma at Sheridan College and earned a bachelor’s degree from York University. I have completed a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) at Yorkville University and am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).
When I’m not in session, you’ll often find me spending time with my 4 dogs, chickens, and ducks—they always manage to brighten my day. Baking, travelling to explore new places, and curling up with a good book are some of my favourite ways to unwind. Family time is also something important to me, whether it’s playing board games, sharing meals, or simply being together. These moments are a reminder of the importance of connection and presence in our lives. This sense of balance and connection is something I strive to bring into my therapy practice, where I aim to create a supportive and nurturing space for clients to explore and grow.
If you’d like to explore working together, I’d be happy to connect with you for a free consultation to discuss your needs and how I can support you on your journey.
