ABOUT:

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and it is important to find someone you feel comfortable with. Here is a little about me to help you decide if we might be a good fit.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I received my Bachelor of Theology from Masters College and Seminary and my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I completed Gottman Method Couples Therapy – Level 1 and received Trauma Incident Reduction training through Applied Metapsychology International.

I enjoy working with teenagers, young adults, adults, and couples. I use an integrative approach to therapy which allows for flexible, client-centered care that is conversational, non-judgmental, and warm. I use creativity, humour, curious exploration, and a genuine self to make room for people to feel comfortable, share authentically, and take steps towards their healing or goals.

I have experience working with teenagers and adults on self-esteem, anxiety, depression, problem-solving, leadership development, relationship challenges, self-exploration, life transitions, and building resilience. I enjoy working with couples through relational challenges and changes with a focus on conflict resolution, supportive communication, and rebuilding connections. I am comfortable integrating faith-based approaches within the therapy setting should a client have interest.

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and it is important to find someone you feel comfortable with. Here is a little about me to help you decide if we might be a good fit.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (R.P.), with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Level Two (CCTP), with Evergreen Certifications, and a member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists (OSRP). I hold a Master of Arts in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy from Wilfrid Laurier University.

I work with children (10+), adolescents, adults, parents, and couples, using a client-centred and trauma-informed approach. I enjoy supporting parents as they navigate the challenges and changes that come with raising children. I also have a special interest in women’s health, including supporting those experiencing perimenopause and menopause. If faith or spirituality is meaningful to you, I am happy to integrate those perspectives into our sessions. I value creating a space where you can feel at ease to be yourself—bringing warmth and, when it feels right, a sense of humour to our work together, so you can engage in the process in a way that feels natural and empowering for you.

My background includes extensive training in trauma and specialized experience supporting individuals with ADHD. I also welcome working with First Responders and their family members.

For couples, I have completed Level One Gottman Method training and support partners as they navigate changes and challenges in their relationships.

Alongside my clinical work, I have experience teaching and facilitating workshops on managing stress, parenting and anxiety in children, trauma and spirituality, conflict resolution, and family dynamics.

For fellow Registered Psychotherapists and graduate students in placement, I meet CRPO requirements to provide clinical supervision. I offer individual, dyadic, and group supervision, and currently have availability to support your professional growth and development.

If you are considering therapy, I invite you to learn more about my approach and experience. My goal is to offer a welcoming, down-to-earth environment where you can feel heard, respected, and supported throughout your journey.

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and it is important to find someone you feel comfortable with. Here is a little about me to help you decide if we might be a good fit.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, and I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, work stress, grief and loss, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. I have a particular interest in supporting women through periods of overwhelm, burnout, emotional stress, and changing life roles. I also have experience working with individuals coping with chronic illness, including cancer, as well as their loved ones.

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, person-centred, and trauma-informed. I draw from modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), self-compassion approaches, inner child work, and nervous system regulation strategies. I believe therapy should feel grounding, compassionate, and tailored to each person’s unique needs—a space where clients can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and feel supported as they navigate life’s challenges.

I am passionate about helping clients deepen emotional awareness, build self-compassion, and navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence. I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered in their healing and growth.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked in communications, which continues to inform my thoughtful, relational approach with clients.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College Of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I received my Master’s in Education with a concentration in Educational Counselling from the University of Ottawa. I completed Level 1 Internal Family Systems (IFS) training in Winter 2023 and have completed Level 2 IFS training with a focus on Addictive Processes and Eating Disorders.

I have completed training on grief and am honoured to walk alongside those who have experienced various types of losses. I also enjoy working with clients who are experiencing infertility, as I have completed training on this topic.

I understand that for some individuals who want to forget childhood traumas, it can be very difficult. I bring a compassionate therapeutic approach that can help heal childhood wounds that continue to impact current-day life.

I have worked in a variety of settings, including a family health team, a counselling agency, a university, and an Employee Assistance Program. I provide individual therapy support for adolescents (16+), young adults, and adults. I approach therapy as a collaborative partner, journeying with clients towards their end goal. I strive to provide a warm, compassionate space for clients to feel known, heard, and accepted so that change can begin to take place.

I offer integrative, evidence-based interventions, including CBT, DBT, IFS, Polyvagal approaches, as well as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy for the treatment of a variety of mental health challenges, complex trauma, and PTSD.

I work with individuals navigating a wide range of challenges, including trauma (PTSD and Complex PTSD), abuse recovery, addictions, anger, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. I have a particular focus on supporting first responders and their family members, as well as those facing major life transitions or work-related stress and burnout.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, and an active member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I earned my B.A. degree in Fine Arts from McMaster University and my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) from Yorkville University. I have completed the Foundations of Theory and Practice Certificate through the Vancouver School for Narrative Therapy (VSNT). I continue to expand my skills through various body-based and trauma-focused trainings.

I have special focuses in chronic illness and pain, relational traumas, identity, and major life transitions. My lived experience with grief and chronic illness informs my capacity to respect the complexity of individual experiences and honour each client’s unique wisdom. I am also a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community and prioritize safety in the therapeutic relationship by adhering to an anti-oppressive, identity-affirming, and depathologizing lens.

I engage a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic style to learn about my clients’ individual, social, and cultural contexts. I use genuine curiosity, compassion, humour, and creative thinking to build an atmosphere where my clients feel at ease. I provide collaborative, integrative, trauma-informed individual therapy for teens (16+), young adults, and adults.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and an active member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of New Haven.

I have experience working with adults struggling with substance abuse and addiction, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life-adjustment challenges. I work alongside clients through life’s challenges, helping them build resilience as they learn how to redefine their lives by creating new ways of being.

In addition, I am dedicated to providing support to children (6+) and adolescents as they gain the skills and tools they need to face the road ahead. I have experience helping children navigate concerns including test anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, emotional regulation, grief and loss, family difficulties, and social challenges. I am enthusiastic about spending ample time developing a safe, trustworthy space for children and adolescents to share and manage their emotional and behavioural difficulties, collaborating with parents to best meet their child’s needs.

I also work with couples using a Gottman-informed approach, supporting them in improving communication, deepening emotional connection, and managing conflict in healthy, constructive ways.

I provide person-centred, empathetic services to individuals of all ages, viewing the client as an expert in their lives and capable of change. The counselling process can feel freeing and cathartic, and it provides a space to explore fears, insecurities, and difficulties adjusting to life. I approach the process with sensitivity, as growth is viable to experience a richer sense of life and well-being.

I have a strong interest in helping clients clarify their values, build confidence, and move through periods of uncertainty with increased trust in themselves. My therapeutic style is warm, relational, and grounded in empathy. I prioritize emotional safety, empowerment, and respect so clients can explore their experiences with openness and authenticity.

Rooted in Solution-Focused, Socratic inquiry, and humanistic approaches, I view therapy as a collaborative journey. I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and genuinely supported as they work toward healing, clarity, and meaningful change.

I am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) at Yorkville University and am a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Medical Sciences from Brock University and a Master of Science in Biochemistry from the University of Ottawa. My background in health sciences and community programming has reinforced my belief that every individual deserves to be understood within the context of their unique experiences, strengths, and relationships.

Through supporting youth, adults, and families in my career, I have developed a growing interest in supporting neurodivergent clients. I am looking to work with teens (16+), young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, perfectionism, stress and burnout, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and career or academic concerns. I believe therapy is a collaborative process that helps clients better understand themselves and develop practical skills to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence, even when life feels difficult.

Grounded in a humanistic, strengths-based, and a trauma-informed approach, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to support each client’s unique needs and goals. I strive to create a warm, thoughtful, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported as they move toward what matters most to them, at a pace that feels right for you, while fostering resilience, self-understanding, and lasting growth.
