I am a Psychotherapist with a Master's in Social Work (since 2004). I work with individuals, couples and families. Some of the topics I help people with include anxiety, depression, couples issues, relationship difficulties, major life transitions, grief & loss, serious health issues and prior traumatic events. I also work with parents and their children as they manage the intense emotions during parental separation and divorce. Therapeutic modalities include narrative, CBT /DBT and mindfulness-based approaches.

Are you stuck in a loop of anxiety, negative thinking, emotional turmoil and/or self sabotaging behaviours? Are you tired of suffering, and feeling overwhelmed, and powerless? Do you feel the need for a real solution but have been frustrated by limited or superficial approaches when you have tried therapy before? Through my experience in treating thousands of clients I’ve discovered what is most effective in solving problems and just as importantly, how to help my clients understand themselves and the root of their problem. I empower them with effective tools and insights so they can also coach themselves as they move forward.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by strong emotions like sadness, anxiety or loneliness? Are you struggling to manage work, school, relationships or life transitions? If you ready to make a change towards wellbeing, I believe that every person has their own unique story, strengths, and abilities that we can build upon. I operate from a person-centered and compassionate approach and individualize the way we work together that best suits your needs.

I have a calm, welcoming and empathetic nature and I intently call out the values and strengths in the lives of those I support. You can expect creativity within sessions supported by a foundation of authenticity and vulnerability. Above all, sessions are a safe place to come as you are and share where you are at in the present moment.

I am a registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers.

Explore within. Create connection. Ignite potential. I work with teens (17+) and adults, along with all levels of athletes & performers - from leisure to elite performance. I help clients overcome obstacles of heightened stress due to anxiety disorders, depression, self-esteem, confidence, body image, self-harm, grief & loss, lack of normal routines, performance blocks, motivational issues and life transitions. These issues act as barriers to achieving their goals and keeps them stuck in patterns that don't serve their happiness or success.
