People often see you as dependable, organized, and always smiling. But inside, you may feel like a fraud - overwhelmed, exhausted from trying to keep up appearances, and sometimes resentful.
If you’re interested in learning new ways of relating to sticky thoughts and emotions, I might be the right therapist for you. I work with adults (18+) experiencing symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, and OCD. My approach emphasis validation, authenticity, curiosity - and a touch of laughter.

Hello! I am a Registered Psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience providing counselling and psychotherapy services to a diverse adult population. I also provided clinical supervision to junior colleagues and student therapists as an adjunct professor at UWO. Finding a therapist you "click with" is one of the best predictors of positive outcome in therapy. I value getting to know who you are aside from your presenting concerns and developing a genuine, human connection. Using evidence-based practice, I will pull from different models of therapy to tailor my approach to your specific needs and who you are as a person.

You’re overwhelmed, exhausted, and quietly struggling beneath the surface as you work to hold it all together for everyone else. You’ve tried yet another trendy diet that promised happiness and self-love on the other side, only to leave you feeling defeated, frustrated - and this cycle never ends. Self-hatred grows, and you begin to feel like a stranger in your own body. The expectations and pressures feel constant and all-consuming, leaving you feeling isolated and hopeless, no matter how hard you try. If any of this feels familiar, you are not alone. Together, we’ll gently explore what’s happening beneath the surface.
