I use CBT and humanistic therapies, blending empathy with structure to tailor a goal-oriented plan that fosters growth.
Well, Hello there! I offer virtual therapy sessions in French and English. A catalyst for becoming a therapist was my previous career in the Canadian Armed Forces. I witnessed firsthand the unique experiences of working in the military, and the effects of moral injury and institutional betrayal, which are two focus areas of mine. While my area of interest lies in military experiences, I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/loss, identity, self-esteem, military/veteran experiences, and trauma. I’m currently completing my practicum at Canopy Psychotherapy Centre under the supervision of Derek Cozzi, RP.

My approach to therapy is humanistic and client-centered, and I offer a diversity of counseling theories and strategies including but not limited to EFT, Somatic Experiencing, and Attachment-based, all within a trauma-informed practice.
Have you been feeling overwhelmed in your close relationships? Maybe you are noticing resentment or stress re-surfacing in arguments with your partner or you find yourself feeling guilt or shame after interacting with your parents or other loved ones. Navigating these feelings in our closest relationships can be intimidating and stressful. In every relationship, we crave emotional closeness… and we seek it out even if it harms us in some ways or feels unhealthy. Family, relationships, marriages… they are hard work. I am here to support you to find your own voice, and to find ways to make these relationships have a healthier impact.

My practice draws on existential, humanistic and psychodynamic traditions of Western psychology and is grounded in the wisdom of Eastern philosophies, mindfulness and somatic work.
Emotional pain is an inherent part of the human experience, but you don’t have to go through it alone. In our sessions, we will work through your struggles and together create a clear path for you to feel in control and content with your life. You'll enter a non-judgmental space where you can truly be you, with the ability to express your innermost thoughts and feelings. I will meet you where you are in your journey with acceptance and compassion. I work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, attachment issues and interpersonal concerns such as work, family, relationships and friendships.

I follow a humanistic and client-centred approach.
Human behaviour and understanding what influences it has always been an interest of mine and is what motivates me in my learning. I am passionate about mental health and overall well-being, and aim to meet my clients with where they are in their journey. I am intrigued by attachment theory and learning how these early life experiences can have such an influence on all of us throughout our lives. By exploring the impact that past experiences have on our current thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, we are able to gain a deeper understanding about ourselves. With this we can recognize future experiences that may create similar feelings.

As a psychologist, I work with change. Change may involve shifts in awareness, attitude, behaviour, goals, acceptance, or coping strategies that will enhance your quality of life and well-being. Many obstacles can prevent us from living a satisfying life. These could be a history of trauma, invalidating relationships, habits that no longer serve us, or environments that may hinder our psychological growth. I can help you identify obstacles to your quality of life, develop strategies to tackle them, and set goals to increase and maintain your well-being.

I work in a warm, gentle and collaborative relationship with you to foster your healing processes and growth. I have been a Psychotherapist for 10 years, working with issues stemming from trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, loss, or role transitions. Many clients use psychotherapy as a safe container to understand themselves better and consider our work an integral part of their self-care practice. Many of my clients' goals are to learn to have more compassionate, aware and accepting relationships with themselves and to deepen their ability to connect with others in meaningful and more satisfying ways.

Some of the modalities that I enjoy using within a session, include but are not limited to: trauma informed, spirituality informed, narrative approach, humanistic stance, existential, experiential and ego state work (inner child/teen work).
Everyone has the ability to heal, grow, learn, deepen the understanding of who they are and gain knowledge on the impacts of the world around them - sometimes they just need a safe space to allow this to unfold as they figure it out. I am here to offer a safe, confidential space with a holistic approach to support your needs and allow you to discover or uncover ways to navigate what you ante going through and perhaps more.

I provide affordable counselling and psychotherapy to individuals in Toronto (and virtually) using an integrated approach including, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, narrative, and humanistic interventions, among others.
In our lives, we often find ourselves stuck. We find it difficult to stop thinking, feeling, or behaving in ways that are no longer useful. Our interpretations of past experiences, beliefs about ourselves, others and the world, can sometimes hold us back from enjoying the present and imagining a better future. We want things to change but are uncertain how to change them. We need time, space, and guidance to transform ourselves and forge a new path. As a psychotherapist, I help facilitate your journey and guide you towards your personal goals by empowering you to remove emotional and psychological roadblocks.

Humanistic Counsellors
How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualisation and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioural therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
