You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected or exhausted from carrying the same struggles for far too long. Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, relationship difficulties, depression or a major life transition, therapy can help you better understand what's happening and create meaningful, lasting change. I work with adolescents (15+), adults and couples across Toronto and Ontario. Together we explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen resilience and help you move toward a more grounded, connected and fulfilling life.
As both a psychotherapist (RSW) and Registered Nurse (RN), I bring an understanding of the connection between mental health, physical health, relationships & overall wellbeing. My approach is warm, collaborative & evidence-based, helping clients build resilience, improve relationships and create lasting change. Located at St. Clair West (Dufferin-St Clair).
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when challenges have been present for a long time. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. My goal is to provide a thoughtful, supportive space where you can feel understood, gain clarity and move forward with greater confidence.
