I am deeply passionate about empowering individuals, couples, children, and families on their journey towards mental wellness. With over a decade of professional experience in counseling and therapy, coupled with my own personal life experiences, I offer compassionate guidance and support to help you navigate life’s challenges and cultivate resilience.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting countless individuals and couples in managing conflicts, improving communication, and fostering healthier relationships. My work has equipped me with valuable insights into the complexities of human emotions and relationships, allowing me to tailor my approach to meet your specific needs.
In addition to my professional background, my own life journey has provided me with a deep understanding of the struggles and triumphs that accompany personal growth and healing. I draw from these experiences to create a safe and empathetic space where you can explore your emotions, confront obstacles, and discover your inner strengths.
Utilizing a variety of therapeutic modalities such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, Cultural Informed Interventions, and Mindfulness, I collaborate with you to develop practical strategies for managing stress, overcoming challenges, and fostering positive change.
My philosophy is rooted in the belief that every individual possesses inherent resilience and potential for growth. Whether you’re facing relationship difficulties, coping with anxiety or depression, or seeking personal development, I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery.
If you’re ready to take the first step towards a brighter tomorrow, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary consultation. Together, we can explore how therapy can help you create a life filled with meaning, connection, and fulfillment.
The human experience can be quite complex, but each of us possesses strengths and attributes that can help us build resilience and navigate our journeys. As a therapist, I am dedicated to helping you discover these qualities, gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you, and equip you with the knowledge and skills that can assist you in overcoming challenges more readily.
With several years of experience in various roles within the mental health industry, I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Carleton University. My professional background includes working within college counseling settings and in private practice, where I have supported adults of differing ages facing a variety of presenting concerns. I have a particular interest in helping adults experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and ADHD. In my practice, I employ an integrative approach that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Psychoeducation, tailored to each individual’s needs.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and the therapeutic relationship is integral to its success. I strive to create a calm, nonjudgmental, and warm atmosphere where you can freely express yourself and feel seen and heard. The therapeutic relationship that develops is one of safety and understanding, where I will stand beside you on your path to healing.
