Get the care you deserve.
I completed my Bachelor of Applied Science in Child, Youth, and Family at the University of Guelph. During my undergraduate degree I completed my placement at SickKids where I learned that my purpose in life was to help others.
After being a client myself, I knew psychotherapy was the right fit for me. Then, I pursued my Masters of Counselling Psychology. I am Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
My Experience
I aim to help clients develop a greater sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance. I believe that the therapeutic bond between the client and the therapist is of upmost importance. I work to understand your needs and responses and to help you develop coping skills that can be applied outside of session.
I emphasize my client’s personal responsibility and their individual experience in the present moment. I aim to understand the environmental and social contexts of your life and the regulating adjustments you make in your life.

Modalities
Relational Therapy
Focuses on the significance of relationships in shaping a client’s emotional well-being, behaviours and sense of self. Goals of Relational Therapy are to improve relationships, enhance emotional awareness, develop a deeper self-awareness, address relational wounds, and promote a sense of agency to set boundaries in relationships.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Aid clients in understanding and developing insights by exploring unconscious processes, past experiences, and emotional conflicts. Goals of Psychodynamic Therapy are to increase self-awareness, resolve internal conflicts, improve emotional regulation, enhance interpersonal relationships, and empower clients to develop a more authentic and integrated sense of self.
Narrative Therapy
A collaborative and empowering approach that encourages clients to separate themselves from their problems by viewing their experiences as stories. Goals of Narrative Therapy are empower client’s to rewrite their stories, help client’s reframe their relationship with problems, encourage clients to identify and challenge harmful societal and cultural narratives, and foster a greater sense of agency and self-determination.
