I have over 10 years of experience working with a diverse population struggling with a broad range of issues. The issues include but are not limited to, life transitions, relationships, anger, trauma, anxiety, depression, and loss. I work with individuals, adults and youth, families and couples seeking support in sorting through the challenges. As a therapist, I will make it a priority to provide a warm, safe, and non- judgmental environment so my clients will feel secure to share and gain a deeper understanding of their behaviours, thoughts, and emotions.

I’m a graduate student in the Counselling Psychology program at Yorkville University. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with Qualifying status with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I have fifteen years of experience working in mental health with children, youth, and adults with serious mental illnesses.
I operate from a person-centered approach, and I believe everyone is the expert in their own life, they may just need some guidance to manage it. I feel a strong therapeutic relationship is the key to clients meeting their goals, and I strive to create a space where young-adults and adults feel safe to talk, share and explore challenges they are facing. I value collaboration and tailor treatment to each individual, and I utilize a number of evidence-based techniques like CBT skills, DBT skills, mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients work through obstacles, develop healthy coping habits, and flourish in their life. I bring a down-to-earth, authentic approach to the counselling space. Life is challenging whether it be as a post-secondary student transitioning to adult life, a parent struggling with balancing home and work-life, or someone struggling with day-to-day mental health pressures. I look forward to meeting each client where they are at, each time they come in.
Reaching out can be hard. I bring 19 years working in mental health where I didn’t feel I could help enough, so I started this, my second career. My life experiences, being a partner and a parent help me empathize with you. If you would like to chat to learn more about my style or you are ready to start making changes, book a free telephone consultation.
I have a decade of experience in the administrative field, and I take pride in polishing my skillset and helping however I can. I’m a big advocate for self-care, positive affirmations, and investing in yourself. You can usually find me with my nose in a good book or learning three new things at once.
