Sometimes therapy can feel like an unfamiliar and overwhelming process to start. Clients may feel uncertain on how the therapy journey can be helpful and applied to their personal lives, making it difficult to see past their current struggles and challenges. 

My mission is to provide a welcoming and supportive environment to help empower individuals and couples to overcome their current struggles and challenges. To do this, I offer diverse evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to their unique goals and needs. To be specific, I generally take a combination of emotionally-focused, mindfulness, person-centered and holistic approaches to best assist clients in understanding, transforming and managing their goals. 

Through my collaborative process, this helps guide clients towards more self-awareness, a gain in new perspectives and an increase in personal strengths that properly align with their core beliefs and values. My approach is compassionate, encouraging, empathetic and insightful so clients can move forward with ease.  

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Over the past three years I have gained valuable experience working in Private Practices. During this time, I have assisted and assessed clients dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma experiences, and psychotic disorders. Additionally, addressing interpersonal/relational issues, life transitions, self-esteem, stress, coping skills and emotional regulation.  

Client Focus: I welcome both Individuals (aged 16+) and couples seeking support in their therapeutic journey.  

Types of therapy: To best serve my clients, I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy (PCT), Holistic/Humanistic Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Attachment theory, and mindfulness.  

Issues: While I address a wide range of concerns, some of my standard issues I commonly work with include anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, relational issues, low self-esteem/confidence.  

My specialities include addressing infidelity, fertility, marital issues, and attachment styles.  

More than just my work: Outside of my professional life, I find joy in spending time with my furry friends! Living with 3 dogs and 2 cats, I keep myself busy taking them to various hiking trails and beaches, creating a balanced and fulfilling life.
