For 30+ years I have had the privilege to be in this helping field. Life transitions can be difficult to navigate. I appreciate that life involves changes, turns, and bumps that sometimes we manage easily; yet, at other times we feel more challenged. I offer you my passion, training, and expertise to help you find your resilience and strength to work through relationship concerns, sexuality and intimacy concerns, aging, retirement, death and dying, or grief and loss. I have the utmost respect for the people I work with; I will offer acceptance, privacy and compassion.

I get that feeling when everything is falling apart.
Anxiety is exhausting, grief is isolating, love is lost, and people change unexpectedly. You might be struggling to find peace, relief, or stability during a time of loss or change. You might feel like you're searching for solutions to feel better, to no avail.
In our sessions, we can create a comforting space to weather the storm. Together, we can take a closer look at what triggers your emotions, explore deeper insights into your attachments and relationships, build self-compassion and reflection skills, and use creative expression so you can navigate the storm with grace.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold, formal, or intimidating. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel genuinely understood, respected, and comfortable enough to show up as themselves. If you're looking for a therapist who feels approachable and easy to connect with, we may be a good fit.
I offer virtual psychotherapy sessions, as well as walk-and-talk therapy for clients who may feel more comfortable opening up while moving, being outdoors, or engaging in a less traditional therapy setting. Walk-and-talk sessions can take place on quiet trails or walking paths within my catchment area in and around Richmond Hill.

Are you coming to therapy with questions about your identity, recently suspecting or diagnosed as neurodivergent, deconstructing long-held beliefs, or wondering how to navigate so much change? Have you struggled to find practitioners who can recognize the impacts of queerphobia, racism, ableism, fatphobia etc. and validate your experience? As a queer person who has benefited greatly from my own therapy, I know how important it is to have a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as your whole and authentic self. You deserve that support!

As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I support individuals in uncovering the deeper patterns and emotional experiences that shape their relationships and sense of self. Our work together invites curiosity about how past experiences influence present feelings and behaviours—creating space for new understanding and change. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and holistic, tailored to each person’s unique story and current challenges. Through this process, clients often find greater self-awareness, emotional freedom, and a more grounded way of relating to themselves and others.

You deserve a life that fulfills you, one with hope, rest, adventure and joy. Just as important, you deserve the the tools to cope when life is tough, because struggle is inevitable, but rarely permanent. You might feel stuck in unhelpful patterns, or in a role society expects you to play: caregiver, worker, partner, but you know you are more than the thing that takes up so much of your time. You might experience anxiety, overthinking, sadness or emptiness, and you want relief. You want to feel comfortable with your thoughts.
