I believe therapy is, at its heart, about connection, personal growth, and transformation. I’m dedicated to offering a compassionate, open, and genuine space - supporting individuals in returning to their authentic selves and living more connected, meaningful lives. I believe that all behavior serves a function and that therapy helps us look beneath the surface to understand the role they play (behaviours such as addiction, eating struggles, chronic anxiety, and more). Most importantly, we learn what is needed to experience change, inner freedom and peace.

You don't have to go through this alone. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative, supportive, and empowering process where you feel heard, understood, and respected. Together, we will create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of criticism. My goal is to help you build practical coping skills, develop resilience, and gain the confidence to face whatever challenges life presents. No matter where you are on your path, I am here to walk alongside you, offering guidance, encouragement, and the tools you need to move forward.

As a mother myself, my passion is helping other mothers and children. I enjoy working with both adults and children (generally up to 12yrs old) and together, we can have meaningful conversations that align with your goals. I provide evidence and nurture-based information to support you in your parenting choices and children in enhancing their emotional wellness, which is often connected to working through worries and bringing their confidence to the forefront.

Many parents and caregivers want to feel closer to their families but find themselves caught in stress, conflict, or disconnection. You may be longing to strengthen your bond with your child, ease the weight of caregiving, or create more peace at home. At the heart of it, the families I work with simply want what we all do—to feel connected, understood, and valued by the people they love most.

I am a registered psychologist providing assessment and treatment services to children, teens, adults, and families. My treatment approach is largely cognitive-behavioural, and I have experience working with a wide range of issues including anxiety, mood problems, stress, relationship difficulties, and child-behaviour management. The treatment that I provide is client-centred, meaning that I work each individual (and their families, when appropriate) to identify and work towards his or her own unique goals. Counselling is provided in a supportive, confidential and professional environment. Collaboration with other health care (or school) professionals is always possible.

Feeling anxious, unsure, or disconnected in your relationships can feel deeply confusing and painful. You might notice yourself overthinking interactions, people-pleasing to avoid conflict, or struggling to name and express what you actually need. These patterns can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. I work with adults who want to better understand themselves in relationships, whether you’re navigating a difficult or emotionally intense dynamic, noticing familiar attachment patterns repeating, or wanting to feel more secure and confident in how you relate to others and to yourself.

You may be at a point where quick tips are not enough. My practice is for people who are ready to look beneath the surface—at patterns in the body, thoughts, and relationships—so that real change can take root. Sessions are steady and practical: we slow things down, notice what is happening in your nervous system, and build tools you can use between sessions. Together we clarify what matters, reduce reactivity, and strengthen boundaries and connection. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO), Educator and certified Yoga Therapist serving Burlington. If you are ready to do deeper work at a manageable pace, I invite you to reach out!

Life has its own unique journey; it has been my passion to understand my own journey and to help others. This has led me to working with youth, families and various systems that serve them. During this process my interest grew in providing support and building capacity in helping individuals to navigate their challenges and to help transform aspects of their lives. I’m truly invested in supporting my clients to put things into perspective and helping them to make sense of their own realities and situations. The therapeutic relationship is one of the key aspects for growth.

Now Accepting New Clients: So many of us want to make healthier choices, but it can feel overwhelming to know where to start. We may lean on self-criticism to motivate ourselves, but this only leaves us feeling drained and discouraged. Perhaps you’re feeling lost in navigating a sea of uncomfortable emotions and turn to quick fixes to escape the pain. If you notice that you constantly flip flop between feeling out of control or overly-controlling, this doesn't need to be your destiny. Even if you feel trapped in this cycle of guilt, unworthiness, and self-sabotage, there is hope for a way out.

Perhaps that you wish you could trust yourself more, use your voice, and feel more connected to yourself or others? Or that you did not have to use so much energy overthinking about the past, future, or reactions of other people? Maybe you wish that you could be more present instead of feeling disconnected? Whether you have struggled since childhood because of trauma or a difficult environment, or whether you have recently begun to encounter anxiety or overthinking in areas like relationships, work, or school, you deserve to connect with support.

New Mar 2026: Are you a Type A, driven, hardworking woman who is quietly unraveling inside? No one sees your high-functioning anxiety or the trauma responses running the show. Your mind never stops, your body is always tense, and relaxation feels impossible. Praise doesn’t register. You wonder if maybe you have ADHD, depression, or just burnout - but deep down, your intuition knows somethings off. Maybe you grew up having to perform, stay small, or manage other people’s emotions. You’ve tried the walks, journaling, meditations.. but your nervous system still feels stuck. You know you need to “love yourself”- you just don’t know how.

Is there something missing from your sex life? Is it all you thought it would be? Do you want more intimacy? More pleasure? Passion? Desire? We are not born knowing how to have great sex or develop healthy relationships. Nothing could be further from the truth! Sex and romantic relationships are both an art and a skillset developed through experience, and also through support and guidance. In my practice, I aim to help you to learn and understand how to create a sex life filled with pleasure and intimacy rather than shame, fear, or performance anxiety.

I am a registered social worker and clinical counsellor with over six years of experience working with men, individuals, and couples who have experienced trauma, and struggling with break-ups, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, negative self talk, and self-doubt/ self-esteem issues.
It can be daunting to do this thing called life. To wake up every day and find purpose, meaning, joy, motivation...I take a very relational, non-directive approach to counselling. I believe people are the experts in their own lives, and every person’s journey and experiences are unique to them.

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.

Many of us have forgotten how to let our emotions move through our bodies like pure energy forms - letting anger churn, hope to blossom, grief to contract, or sit with unmet longing. My approach is to simply be with what's true for you, moment to moment. I practice this through supportive listening and staying with whatever comes up in the present. I create a safe space to help unravel beliefs & emotions, and offer personalized, therapeutic techniques to support individuals to gain awareness and clarity about themselves, their patterns and the decisions they make in their life.

What would it be like if you felt at home with yourself? What would it be like if all the different parts of you had a space to feel seen, to be heard, and to come together? We can work together to get to know you — all of you. We will move toward the changes you would like to see for yourself by co-creating a space where you can feel safe enough to voice your truths and gain awareness of how past survival strategies impact your current day-to-day. In my work with couples and individuals, we address issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and trauma.
