Let's Connect (289) 274-9594

I believe that no single experience defines us entirely and that we’re all capable of building resilience and fostering change. Whether you're feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward, unmotivated and struggling to feel accomplished, or feeling alone and seeking meaningful change, together we can navigate a compassionate process of untangling the knots to pave the way for longstanding healing and growth.

I assist clients in navigating their emotions and sense of self in relationships—whether with a parent, sibling, romantic partner, or grieving a loss. Many who seek my support struggle with feeling stuck. I work with individuals over eighteen, offering an eclectic approach that includes solution-focused, narrative, and CBT therapy, among other modalities.

I'm happy to discuss my approach and the benefits of working through your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Gaining a deeper understanding of yourself can help you break free from the cycle you're experiencing. Feel free to schedule a complimentary consultation through Psychology Today or visit my website at www.whatworksmentalhealth.ca.
