Practicing as an integrative psychologist at the Centre for Psychology and Emotional Health, I incorporate understandings of human emotional, psychological, social, and biological development with findings from current research in neuroscience, post-traumatic growth, and attachment. I utilize evidence-based treatment approaches to help people address their concerns and develop their authentic, unique selves. I am also experienced in the assessment and treatment of individuals suffering the effects of psychological trauma that may be debilitating.

I believe that what happens to us is not as important as how we respond to what happens to us. Whatever it is that you are going through it can have meaning for you. Choosing to listen to your suffering and what it is trying to tell you can guide you back to authenticity and a life that is conscious and connected. I do not use techniques. The sessions are spontaneous and client centred.

The gestalt therapeutic process is a creative journey where the therapist’s support and presence invite you to explore what is most meaningful in your life, including what feels painful or difficult. I hope to support you to more fully trust and listen to your inner knowing, and to find more space to experiment with new approaches to what might feel like old or stuck patterns in your relationships and your engagement with the world.

Sometimes life seems stuck and miserable, however, everyone can make a change in their life. Every person is unique and deserves respect and care. In the therapy room, therapist and client work together as an alliance to break out the old maladaptive patterns, help them learn adaptive coping skills, improve insight to see “problems” from different perspectives, repair the relationship, and promote personal growth.

We try to do our best with the life we are given but can still find ourselves stuck. I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed by hopelessness, uncertainty, and stress. I work with clients who want to deepen their knowledge about themselves, develop healthier relationships, and take agency in shaping their future. People I work with may struggle to feel secure in their relationships, experience low self-esteem, or are aware that something is wrong but don’t know how to address it. With a background in the arts, philosophy, and a MA in Counselling Psychology, I can support you by offering a space where you can be seen and heard.

I work with adults and youth 12 and up. I have particular experience supporting neurodivergent folks who may be experiencing mental health challenges related to ADHD, ASD, and OCD such as burnout, substance use, anxiety and depression, school avoidance, feelings of isolation, relationship challenges, overwhelm, and family conflict. I also work with families and caregivers to help support family cohesion. I believe when working with neurodivergent folks it is important to identify how this intersects with other aspects of your identity.

Life is hard, and the challenges we meet in our relationships, work, and daily tasks can create tremendous stress and uncertainty. I provide a warm and comfortable environment where you and I can work as a team to unpack issues troubling you – I am non-judgmental, have a good sense of humour, and I thrive in supporting people through challenging times. As a mature woman, I have faced my own issues with anxiety, relationship stress, and parenting difficulties, and through my personal and professional experiences I have come to understand how powerful the psychotherapy process is at fostering self-awareness and emotional resilience.

Have you tried different approaches—even therapy—but lasting change still feels out of reach? Unresolved pain, challenging life experiences, or other mental health issues can keep you stuck in patterns that leave you feeling unfulfilled, overwhelmed, disconnected, or hopeless. Healing isn’t about fixing yourself; it’s about understanding your unique story. When you feel truly seen and begin to connect with yourself in new ways, real change becomes possible.

I often support individuals who feel like they are constantly navigating multiple identities, whether between cultures, generations, or expectations. Many of my clients are 2nd-generation Canadians raised in collectivist households, and they often feel the weight of being the bridge between their parents’ values and their own needs. Working with you in therapy, I offer a space where you don’t have to be “put together;” you can stop performing and can breathe a sigh of relief. We explore how your story, family roles, and inner patterns shape how you show up today, so you can begin living with more clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

Healing is not about erasing pain but learning to coexist with it, finding peace and strength within life's inevitable struggles. As a psychotherapist, I create a space where healing is approached holistically, honouring the mind, body, and spirit. I believe therapy is more than symptom management; it's a journey toward deeper self-awareness, emotional regulation, and connection with one's authentic self. Healing happens in moments of presence, in learning to trust oneself, and in embracing the complexity of the human experience.
