While talking about your problems can feel overwhelming, having a steadfast and friendly guide can help you feel comfortable and at ease with this process. Together, we make a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental environment where you can feel free to be yourself and begin healing.
Working together, we create a holistic approach (drawing on approaches such as DBT, CBT, EMDR, ACT, SFBT, self-compassion, and attachment theory) that is custom fit for you, building on your strengths and addressing your needs. Regardless of whether you need help healing trauma, stress, anxiety, or depression; managing OCD; grieving loss; dealing with divorce; increasing personal well-being; navigating life transitions; addressing relationship issues; or gaining deeper personal insight, I will be with you every step of the journey. Along the way, we’ll discover laughter, resilience, and evidence-based tools that can help you face life with a new sense of optimism. Hopefully as we work together you’re able to see the world a little more clearly, find meaning in the wake of confusion, and learn to take back control of your life.
I graduated from Yorkville University with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO# 11838) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCPA# 10004795). I am also a trained EMDR Therapist. When not in the therapy chair, I find fresh energy exploring nature, feasting with family and friends, and working with my hands. I also enjoy reading good books, deep discussions, and learning new skills.
I provide virtual and in-person counselling services to individuals 16 years and older.
I embody a relational approach to therapy with an emphasis on caring over curing.
I offer individual and couples therapy, frequently addressing abuse, trauma, attachment issues, codependency, boundary setting, relationship issues, life transitions, divorce care, emotional regulation difficulties, grief & loss, spiritual abuse, and anxiety. In addition to Self-Psychology and Relational Therapy, I also draw on therapies including Somatic, Narrative, Solution Focussed, Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and others. For couples therapy, I draw on Imago Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
You’ve most likely been hurt in the context of relationship, so let’s now create a relationship together that can be a source of healing! I would consider it an honour and a privilege to hold space for your story and travel alongside you in your healing journey.
