Registered Psychotherapist

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. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University,Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy from the University of Toronto, and a Bachelor of Arts in Neuroscience from Brock University.

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 also work with couples using a Gottman Level 1 approach, helping partners enhance communication, manage conflict effectively, and rebuild emotional connection.

My approach is client-centred and trauma-informed, grounded in compassion, curiosity, and kindness. I strive to create a supportive space for clients to explore their experiences, reconnect with their inner sense of self, and work toward greater emotional well-being, resilience, and transformation.
