Accepting New Clients! You may feel overwhelmed, stressed, or burdened. You have already taken the first step of healing by reaching out for help! I often work with individuals struggling in the areas of: adoption/foster care, anxiety, OCD, caregiver burnout, childhood abuse, depression, grief/loss, identity issues, narcissistic abuse, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, self-harm, spiritual abuse, trauma and more. Using a client-centered, eclectic, and evidence-based approach, I offer a caring and compassionate listening ear. Coping skills and strategies are interspersed to help you move forward and navigate through life.
Beyond an MA in Counselling Psychology, I trained in DBT, EFIT (Level 1, and Level 2 in progress), narrative therapy, narcissistic abuse, Safe and Sound Protocol to reset the nervous system, and some IFS. I am also an "adoption competent" therapist through the Adoption Council of Ontario.
I offer a judgment-free, compassionate, and a genuine therapeutic relationship where you can be listened to, seen and understood. Individuals interested in meeting virtually can schedule a free 15 mins consultation. I would be honoured to walk alongside your healing journey and cheer you on!

I often use a combination of dialectical behaviour, cognitive behavioural, narrative, solution-focused, emotionally-focused, parts work, person-centered, strengths-based, and exposure therapy to treat symptoms. This just means, I have a variety of tools to chose from when treating symptoms. My clients have the final say in how we proceed, their preferences in treatment, and are valued.
