It’s time for you to have a down to earth psychotherapist that feels just like an old friend. You don't have to go about it alone. People have been feeling it, and stronger than ever before - anxiety, burnout, depression, past-traumas, change, loss, grief. Maybe you’re a young professional or maybe you’re well into your career, even retired, and ready to finally start working on (deep breath!) you. I am an experienced therapist but I come to you as an equal. You can be yourself with me and I will accept you exactly as you are. Swearing and sharing of honest thoughts permitted ;)
I have been a therapist since 2008, first in the field of music therapy and have since broadened into the field of mental health and psychotherapy. I love what I do and would be honoured to work with you to help you feel like yourself again. I am a registered social worker with an online and in-person practice serving individual adults in Ontario.
Although my practice is at full capacity, I invite you to explore my profile and visit my website to see if my approach aligns with your needs. If you'd like to be included on a priority list, please send me a message. I'll do my best to respond within 5 business days. I'm excited about the possibility of meeting you down the road!

I love working from a polyvagal-informed approach, which is an insightful, fun, creative, and adaptable approach to understanding and shaping the way you respond to the world. With this approach, we will start with a mapping process to get to know yourself through the lens of your autonomic nervous system. I also integrate music, imagery, movement and awareness of the body.
