Welcome! Does your life look great on the outside, but inside you feel like you are not enough? Do you feel anxious or like you are never good enough? Exhaustion and burn-out might be lurking nearby, yet you keep chasing endless self-improvement projects. Maybe this is even affecting your work, relationships, self-esteem and sense of fulfillment. If this sounds familiar, you don’t have to carry it alone! I offer compassionate online psychotherapy across Ontario. Together, we can gently explore your trauma, grief, anxiety, depression or perfectionism, and guide you towards confidence, self-compassion and authenticity.
During our sessions, we will explore your goals, and support you in moving towards them. This could involve connecting the dots between your past and what is happening now, nurturing self-compassion, grounding your nervous system, and exploring the different parts of you. You might also rewrite your story to foster your agency and strength.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, which is why I offer a free consultation. This gentle first step allows you to share what’s on your mind and heart. If it feels like a good fit, we can move forward into the ongoing therapy. I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. This is a brave first step towards healing, growth, support, and change!

I am a Registered Psychotherapist. Motivated by a desire to help others the way I have been supported, I completed a five-year Master's-equivalent diploma in psychodynamic psychotherapy. My journey also brought me to mindfulness, IFS-informed parts work, EMDR and self-compassion trainings.

I work with clients who appear successful on the outside but quietly struggle with a sense that something vital inside has been lost or dimmed. Many of my clients wrestle with low self-esteem, never feeling "good enough," shame, anxiety, life transitions or impostor syndrome. Together, we work to rebuild a deep, authentic sense of self-worth. Not just on the surface, but at the core.
