I am a compassionate, understanding, non-judgmental counsellor who believes everyone has the right to wellness and balance. I provide insurance-friendly counselling for individuals, couples, families and children. My special area of focus is in helping my clients to free themselves from their painful, traumatic pasts and to achieve personal balance and wellness as they create a fresh start in life. Often, emotional and physical pain is resolved from the inside out as my clients and I interact, and as we work together to arrive at a deeper understanding of their condition and the solutions they seek.

Waitlist for new clients
I offer sessions in-person from my office in Whitby, as well as virtually or via telephone.
I believe that every client is unique and therapy therefore is not "one size fits all". This means that I am an eclectic therapist, that draws upon several evidence-based approaches to help my clients meet their unique needs. I particularly enjoy working with approaches such as Acceptance & Commitment, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive-Behavioural, Attachment-based, and Narrative approaches. I specialize in treating clients who may be struggling with persistent, intrusive "sticky" thoughts as commonly associated with OCD and anxiety through Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) and mindfulness approaches.

Looking for the right therapist can be challenging and stressful. When I sit across from a client, I value and respect that I am being invited into important, personal situations, thoughts, and vulnerabilities. My philosophy to clinical work comes from my belief that you are trying to do the best you can and want support to do better. I will both accept you for where you are at, while helping you pushing toward the change you are looking for. I collaborate with my clients to then tailor the therapy I provide to the individual-pulling on my experience, trainings, and the understanding that we all are human.

While it can be a difficult process to admit when we need help, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Sometimes things come up for us in life, both from our past as well as our present, that may demand us to seek out help, and that’s okay. I typically work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, identity issues, sexual issues, and relationship issues. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, and I am passionate about advocating for and supporting marginalized groups.
