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 earned my B.A. in Social Development Studies from the University of Waterloo and am completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) from Yorkville University.

​

With years of experience supporting individuals through grief and loss, I approach therapy with a deeply person-centred philosophy. My long-standing work in hospice care has strengthened my belief that healing unfolds differently for each person, and I am committed to honouring clients’ pace, emotions, and inner wisdom throughout the process.

​

I work with youth (16+) and adults who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, workplace challenges, and life transitions. 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.
