I’m a Registered Social Worker with a background in Child Development and Family support, social justice and community development. I strive to maintain a critical and self-reflective practice that is rooted in anti-oppressive principles. In my clinical work, I believe that you, the client are the expert in your own life.

I consider it the most important job to bear witness to other people’s unique experiences; their joy, their pain; their need for recognition and healing.

Hello and welcome! I am a Registered Psychotherapist who works with individuals presenting with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, addictions, trauma, anger management, relationships, and self-esteem concerns. I believe in taking an empathic and eclectic approach to counselling, incorporating strategies and techniques from various theoretical approaches to suit the needs of each client. I have worked with diverse clientele and have a vast understanding of cultural differences. I will work collaboratively with you to understand your concerns and work towards your treatment goals with you to create meaningful changes in your life.

I do not believe people come to therapy because they are "ill" or there is anything "wrong" with them. Instead, I think we all have a natural drive towards self-understanding and personal growth. Some people seek my help because they feel flooded or stuck in painful emotions or unsatisfying relationships. Others have developed ways of coping with unbearable pain that lead to additional problems and suffering, such as impulsive, risky, or addictive behaviours. Sometimes, it is past trauma that needs to be explored and re-processed so these experiences do not continue to negatively affect the person's sense of self and relationships.

My approach is grounded in the belief that we are all doing the very best we can with the resources, knowledge and experience we have. That being said, we can always continue to learn and grow….and this is where we start. I have spent the bulk of my professional life supporting people with compounding experiences of marginalization and structural vulnerability, including experiences from childhood that may continue to linger and live in this very moment. I believe in the practice of weaving together therapeutic strategies to ensure individualized and personalized care.

I am so happy to see you taking your first step to healing! In this ever-changing world, it is easy to suddenly feel lost and stuck like the world is passing us by. Somehow, you don't feel quite like yourself anymore. As a Registered Psychotherapist, my aim is to guide you on a unique mental health journey that suits your needs and goals. By unpacking your past experiences and exploring how they relate to your present life, we can create a future that is aligned with your values and aspirations.
