Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BA
Burlington, ON L7P
I draw from evidence-based, relational, and developmental approaches, including Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment Theory, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT).
You may have spent years holding it together while feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of what you need. Perhaps you've always been the strong one, yet something feels missing. Many of us were never taught what to do with our emotions, so we learned to push them aside. I offer a warm, supportive space, for teens, adults, and couples, to better understand your emotions, make sense of difficult experiences, and strengthen your connection with yourself and others. Together, we'll work toward greater clarity, self-understanding, and connection to yourself and others.

My approach is trauma informed and integrative, drawing from EMDR, talk therapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic work, and CBT.
Accepting new clients - When life feels heavy, overwhelming, or emotionally confusing, it can be hard to know where to begin. Trauma, grief, relationship struggles, parenting stress, or major life transitions can quietly shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. You may feel stuck in old patterns, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from your values and sense of identity. Therapy can offer a safe, steady space to slow down, process emotions, and begin making sense of your experiences in a way that feels supportive and grounding.

Together, we’ll draw on your strengths while using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, and ACT to help you heal.
Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, it’s never enough? You may look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside, you feel weighed down by self-doubt, painful memories, or a sense of failure. Past experiences may continue to haunt you, leaving you struggling to enjoy the present. Living with trauma, grief, or chronic pain can make it hard to feel truly happy or at peace, even when you think you “should.” If you’ve tried to push the past aside but find it still impacting your daily life, you don’t have to face it alone.

Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices, I help clients build greater awareness of their thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and bodily sensations.
I help individuals achieve emotional and mental wellness by providing a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space for self-exploration and growth. My approach is rooted in the belief that true healing begins with self-awareness. Often, we remain unaware of the assumptions and beliefs shaping our thoughts and emotions. By actively questioning and reassessing these perspectives, we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and develop a more flexible, resilient mindset. This process fosters self-awareness, emotional resilience, and confidence, allowing you to navigate life with greater ease and joy.
