I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO # 11951). I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, along with specialized training in trauma and couples therapy. I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals and couples through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges in group practice settings. I’m committed to offering professional, evidence-based care grounded in compassion and respect for each client’s unique path.
I'm a dedicated therapist, partner and mom of four. My passion for this work comes from understanding how central relationships are to our emotional well-being. With individuals, I often support those who feel overwhelmed by old patterns, relational trauma, big emotions, or the long-term impact of not feeling safe or understood. Together, we work to make sense of these experiences and build new ways of relating to yourself and others. With couples, I’m drawn to helping partners navigate vulnerable moments, strengthen communication, and rebuild connection when it feels strained. My goal is to create a supportive space where people can explore, heal and grow closer in the relationships that matter most.
I'm a deep thinker, a lifelong learner and I truly love the work I do. I’m grateful to walk alongside people as they grow and heal.
About me
My Therapeutic Approach
I use a variety of evidence-based approaches to support individuals and couples in creating meaningful, lasting change. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor therapy to your unique experiences, goals, and strengths. Together, we'll find the approaches that best support your healing and growth.
For Individuals
My work with individuals is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, and Parts Work.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you develop a different relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions. Instead of struggling against them, ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility so you can make choices that align with your values and move toward the life you want to live.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process traumatic or distressing experiences that may feel "stuck." By reducing the emotional intensity of these memories, EMDR can help you move forward with greater resilience and a renewed sense of control.
Parts Work recognizes that we all have different "parts" of ourselves—such as the inner critic, the people-pleaser, the protector, or the part carrying pain from past experiences. Rather than trying to get rid of these parts, we work to understand them with curiosity and compassion, helping you feel more connected, balanced, and confident in yourself.
For Couples
My couples work is informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps couples understand the emotional patterns that keep them feeling disconnected. By strengthening emotional bonds and creating new ways of responding to one another, EFT helps partners build greater trust, security, and closeness.
The Gottman Method is based on decades of relationship research and provides practical tools to improve communication, manage conflict effectively, deepen friendship, and strengthen intimacy. Together, we'll identify your relationship's strengths while developing skills to navigate challenges as a team.
The Importance of the Therapeutic Relationship
At the heart of meaningful therapy is the relationship we build together. Therapy is most effective when evidence-based approaches are paired with a trusting therapeutic relationship. Together, these create a supportive space where healing and lasting change can occur.
I strive to create an environment where you feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Therapy can involve difficult conversations and challenging emotions, but it can also include moments of hope, insight, and even laughter.
As both a therapist and someone who has experienced the value of therapy personally, I understand what it feels like to sit on both sides of the room. That perspective reminds me how important it is to feel heard and understood.
I am committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients and individuals of all backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences.
