You’ve been holding a lot of hard feelings underneath it all. These days, you’re keeping things steady for others, navigating complex dynamics, managing all the invisible labour. On the outside, it might look like you’re doing fine. But inside, something feels unsettled. You’re exhausted by the silence in your relationship, the guilt around money, or the loneliness that creeps in even when you’re partnered. Maybe you’re navigating non-monogamy or struggling to name what you want in sex or intimacy. Or maybe you feel like you’re always “too much.” You’ve tried to push through, but now you’re wondering if there’s a different way.

I offer in-person sessions in my cozy Guelph office and virtual sessions in Ontario & Nova Scotia, with evening and daytime availability.
Do you look put-together on the outside while quietly feeling anxious or overwhelmed on the inside? Maybe your mind is always running through “what ifs,” you feel pressure to perform or keep everyone else happy, or you’re burning out from holding everything all together. You might struggle to set boundaries, overthink decisions, or carry tension that never fully settles. You want to feel calmer, more confident, and less stuck in patterns that leave you exhausted.

I specialize in ADHD & Autism Lvl. 1 and also have experience working with social & general anxiety, trauma, depression, suicidal feelings, substance abuse, video game addiction, stress, and relationship concerns (family, romantic, and friendships). Working with neurodivergent kids, adults, couples, & families is very important to me because I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and struggled a lot without proper support. I get how frustrating navigating the mental health and education systems can be, and I want to support others in learning to harness their amazing abilities and make lasting positive change.

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 take a goal-oriented, solution-focused, and evidence-based approach, grounded in person-centered care.
Many of life’s challenges are inevitable, but with the right support, we can often influence outcomes, prevent issues from compounding, and find new paths forward. That’s the philosophy I bring into my work as a therapist. My own lived experience informs how I hold space for each client by validating your story, your strengths, and your unique identity.

Accepting New Clients! - Trauma, depression, and other mental health issues can often cause individuals to become "stuck" leading to feelings of resignation or hopelessness. It can often feel like the individual is at the bottom of a well which keeps getting deeper, with the light out feeling further and further out of reach. It can lead individuals to believe that there is no path forwards, or that any path forward is one devoid of meaning or fulfillment.

I believe there is always hope for healing, for every situation and person; where there's willingness, there is a way forward. I also believe change is always possible, though it may involve small steps taken over time, gradually leading to meaningful, lasting transformation. Healthy connections are essential to healing, and I prioritize creating a safe, compassionate, and trusting therapy relationship, where you can bring all parts of yourself into the room and feel seen, heard, and accepted. My practice is grounded in a holistic understanding of well-being, recognizing that mind, body, relationships, and spirit are interconnected.

Life rarely goes according to plan, and in our most difficult times, many of us have not had the support and tools needed to navigate losses, transitions, and traumas. My role is to help you find your way through hardship, while expanding your capacity to meet challenges from a place of resilience and acceptance. Your struggles are not due to your own inadequacy; rather, I believe all behaviour makes sense on some level, when viewed from the right perspective. I work from a holistic stance that accounts for the individual, cultural, and societal factors affecting each of us uniquely, and therefore requires a personalized approach.

Reaching out for help takes courage and finding the right therapist can be daunting. As a highly empathetic and collaborative therapist, I understand the importance of a good fit and treat each client as a unique individual and expert on their own life. I trust that, with support, you can feel empowered enough to tackle your challenge, whether that be managing an overwhelming situation or symptoms of anxiety or depression, clearing unwanted patterns, resolving past issues, or perhaps finding a deeper sense of life purpose.

I have a unique background of over 30 + years experience working with young children, adolescents and their families. I offer a variety of client centred psychotherapeutic services specializing in individual and family therapy. My relaxed play-based approach helps children explore difficult emotions and situations. I use a strength-based approach helping adolescents building their self confidence, self esteem and coping strategies. When parents feel capable and they are better able to understand their child's individuality the potential risks for mental health concerns decrease for every family member.
