A warm welcome to you. Whether you know what you want to work on in therapy or you just sense that you'd like to feel better and improve your life, I would be honoured to help. My integrative and holistic approach is informed by my personal mindfulness meditation practice (vipassana/insight tradition) and includes a deep appreciation for the power of the body-heart-mind connection. I use evidence-based trauma-informed mindfulness interventions, behavioural therapies, IFS-informed parts work, and a somatic (body-centred) therapy called Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I also have training in grief counselling (including non-death loss).
My Masters degree was from the University of Toronto (Psychotherapy/Psycho-Spiritual Studies Program) and I did my clinical training at CAMH (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health). I'm a parent and have experience supporting health care workers. I provide an inclusive, compassionate, and safe environment for you to feel heard, seen, and understood.
Clients have told me that I’m a caring, open, patient, and non-judgmental therapist. I work with people from all backgrounds, neuro-diversities, orientations, beliefs, and identities. If you would like to have a short conversation before you start therapy with me, I offer a free 30-minute initial consultation. I look forward to meeting you.
