Hello you - thanks for looking at my profile! I specialize in working with people with perfectionist traits, ADHD, and athletes (really anyone who wants to change things for the better and would like to have fun doing it). I love empowering individuals to conquer challenges and achieve authentic growth. I am a therapy nerd and enjoy sharing my knowledge and passion for the therapeutic process by regularly teaching at Laurier University and publishing original papers. I am an energetic LGBTS2AI+ ally.

The goal of my practice is to provide a safe, and supportive environment, creating space for you to process your thoughts and emotions. I work alongside clients to create a life with authentic joy and develop a "toolbox" of skills. These skills help deal with negative emotion regulation, impulsive reactions and effective communication. I will tailor each session to your individual needs, drawing on various modalities such as Dialectic Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy with a trauma-informed lens.

You've been using the phrase, "I'm Fine", more than you usually do. Yet the more you say it, the more you realize it isn't true. You've been looking at this life you've created and instead of feeling freedom, you feel overwhelmed. You know you need to make a change, but where? how? and at what cost? You notice the one part of you that wants to muscle through it all and at the same time another part wonders if there's a different path for you. You know it's time for a change and you need a hand determining how to go forward.

I imagine you have read many of these profiles trying to find the right therapist for yourself or someone you care about. This can be an overwhelming experience, however, the relationship between the client and therapist is vital to the therapeutic process. I believe in each client trusting their own gut feeling when choosing the person they feel connected to and are drawn to work with. This is something I will talk about in the first session as we begin to build safety. Trusting your gut today is a step towards strengthening the relationship with yourself.

Are you ready to feel better? Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a proven, effective treatment to help you work through life's challenges. If you are looking for relief from anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, insomnia, chronic pain, panic attacks, addictions, or other mental health concerns, CBT may be the right therapy for you. Using a variety of tools and strategies, CBT helps us to see how our thought patterns influence how we feel, and how we act in the world. Our thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and our body are so connected - each one re-inforces the other, making it very easy to get caught in a downward spiral.

The painful events we experience can have a lasting impact on our mental health, our relationships, and how we feel about ourselves and the world around us. This is the understanding from which I center my practice. I aim to help clients better understand their inner experiences, attend to their own needs, and to heal from the past. My clients have described my approach as warm, non-judgemental, and authentic.

I believe that every person has a desire to be their best self and live their best life. However there are times in life when you may be met with challenges, struggles or perhaps a personal crisis. Perhaps you feel you are struggling to cope. I believe in every person’s ability to heal, grow and recover. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, where we can work together to build insight, self awareness and skills.

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when navigating cultural adjustment, managing a chronic illness, or dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or work-related stress. I provide therapy in both English and Italian, offering a supportive and understanding space for individuals facing these difficulties. As a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist, I specialize in working with first- and second-generation immigrants, individuals living with chronic conditions, and those navigating career transitions or emotional struggles.

I spent about 10 years in the highest burnout sectors of social work. From this experience, I have developed a keen trauma-informed perspective, supporting populations navigating systemic barriers and compounded complex mental health. I have also worked with a large breadth of mental health diagnoses, within every category of the DSM, from a client-centered and strengths based framework. With this experience, and practicing therapy modalities that are transferable to various mental health difficulties, I would say that I am a generalist.

I am passionate to work with individuals and families who are going through life-stage transitions and experiencing emotional wounds, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, coping with loved ones with narcissistic traits, parenting and family issues, and immigration trauma. I believe that individuals are the experts of their life experience and have been trying their best to cope with their life challenges before seeking support. I also believe we all have the potential to overcome any obstacle in our lives.

Through my work in psychotherapy I have come to believe that even within the most difficult experiences and circumstances, each individual has a truly profound capacity for resilience and meaning. I strive to create a supportive and warm environment that allows clients to explore and heal from past trauma, learn and practice slowing life down to foster intentional living, prioritize strengthening connection in their relationships, as well as identify and cultivate their unique strengths.
