I am a counsellor and psychotherapist, and a member in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. With over 15 years of experience working in the mental health field, I have had the opportunity to work with many individuals of diverse backgrounds. I have a special interest in working with adults and couples as they navigate general mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, trauma, relationship issues, and life/role transitions, with a specialized focus on the reproductive years, including pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. My passion for this work grew immensely when I became a mama myself in 2019.

​

As a warm, genuine, and collaborative therapist, I actively participate in my client’s healing journey, to foster greater insight and self-awareness into life’s challenges. My focus is first on building a trusting relationship with you, while creating an environment that is nonjudgmental, compassionate, and safe to process all issues related to your life story. A place where you can be truly yourself. A strong therapeutic rapport, built on trust, respect, empathy, acceptance, and attentiveness, is a crucial aspect in fostering positive changes. You can expect warmth, a little humour, authenticity, a careful balance of support and challenge, emotional support and validation, exploration of hopes and expectations, tools for stress management and coping, and empowerment with a focus on insights and strengths. I can work with you to create a plan that addresses your specific symptoms, reduces stress, builds coping skills, deepens awareness and self-compassion, restores self-esteem and hope, enhances social supports and connection, and improves overall well-being.​
