For the past 14 years, I have worked and trained in a variety of settings, including children's mental health facilities, schools, hospitals, and private practice. I have enjoyed the rewarding challenges of treating children, adolescents and adults who are struggling with ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, gender identity issues, personality disorders, substance abuse issues, anger management issues, low self-esteem, and social skills deficits.

I believe that by exploring our unique lived experiences, we have the ability to pursue a different future and create the change we desire. I aim to create a warm and welcoming space that encourages the therapeutic goals and healing clients are working towards. My therapeutic experience includes topics of stress, anxiety, depression, grief, caregiving, self-esteem, life transitions, and working towards healthy lifestyle goals. I work with pre-teens, teens, and adults!

Hello! Throughout my professional life I have had the opportunity to work with children, teenagers and adults who have struggled with issues such as grief and loss, depression and suicidal ideation, anxiety, interpersonal relationship difficulties, and self-esteem issues. I take a relaxed and non-judgmental approach in working with clients, in hopes that therapy will be as comfortable and organic as possible. I recognize that struggling from time to time is an inevitable part of life, and sometimes you just need a little bit of outside help, or a different perspective, while you work through the tough times.

I am a Master of Counselling Student Intern at Dragonfly Psychological Services, offering dedicated support to girls and young women aged 12-35 navigating the complexities of adolescence and early adulthood. I am passionate about supporting individuals grappling with the challenges of self-esteem, identity, peer relationships, and the pressures of societal expectations. My goal is to help clients understand their place in the world, find their voice, and pursue a path of healing and self-discovery. I believe in the power of therapy to transform lives and am committed to walking alongside my clients on their journey towards healing.

Welcome to Breakthrough Psychology! I have a passion for the helping profession and for over ten years, I have worked extensively with youth, adults, and families in a variety of capacities. Through the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused practices, and strength based approaches, I will work collaboratively with you to develop a personalized support plan that is fitting for your needs.

I am an empathic and dynamic listener who is passionate about helping people live out their full potential and overcome challenges that get in their way. I bring a genuine compassion and positivity into my work as a psychologist for adults, couples, families, teens, and children. I strive to thoroughly understand my clients' challenges and strengths. I collaborate with my clients to identify and achieve effective, creative, and unique solutions to overcome the challenges they are facing. The areas I specialize in include, disordered eating and body image, self-esteem, depression, postpartum depression, trauma, stress and anxiety, relationships and parenting.

When it comes to living, life can be full of stressors, disappointments, changes, challenges and losses that can cause a range of emotional, mental and physical responses. In therapy, I take the approach that all experiences, both internal and external, can create opportunity for growth, fulfillment and greater meaning. Counselling services can range from short-term solution focus treatment to longer-term therapy/analysis. The treatment plan will depend on your individual needs, the preferred outcome, your ability/willingness to access services and ultimately, the best course of treatment for your unique situation.

I enjoy working with adults, adolescents and couples. My experience includes working with individuals that have challenges ranging from self-esteem concerns, anxiety, stress, depression, assertiveness, boundaries and spiritual concerns. I also enjoy working with couples who are struggling within their relationship and want some guidance to improve their skills, to communicate and resolve conflict effectively; which will often enhance the connection you feel with each other.

I work with young people who struggle with anxiety, self-worth, self-confidence, self-expression, and coping skills. My sessions are not the traditional 50-minute in-office talk therapy. Sessions are up to 1.5 hours, using relational therapeutic experiences (art, play, experiential, and talk too), based on the interests of the young person. I work with young people in experiencing the tools that will help them to resolve their concerns, giving them the opportunity to practice in their life-space. Appointments are available for evenings and weekends. I prefer to come to you for young children as they are more comfortable at home.

Does it seem like even though you try so hard, you just can't feel confident and happy? You're exhausted. You overthink. You criticize yourself. You should have figured things out by now, but you feel stuck and it's not for lack of trying. In your life this can look like anxiety, lack of motivation, procrastinating, impostor syndrome, over-eating, low self-esteem, unsatisfying relationships, a discouraging job or even depression, and feeling like you’re not enjoying life and don’t know what to do anymore. I know these feelings too and how exhausting it feels and I want to let you in on a little secret. This is not your fault.

Picture a sacred space of human connection that invites you to make room for the complexity of emotion and experience, moving towards meaning and personal values. In our sessions, there is the invitation to cozy up with a warm cup of tea, slow down, and reconnect with yourself, practicing self-acceptance through exploration. From a place of gentleness and curiosity, I aim to be courageous alongside you as we navigate the thoughts, feelings, and sensations that seem too big to carry alone. Because, let's keep it real, being human is hard, and healing begins with the permission to embrace our messy, imperfect selves.

In my initial sessions, clients usually say, “I want someone that gets me.” This is a shared feeling; I also want my therapist to “get me” and connect with me. Hence, I use evidence-based approaches to build this connection with my clients, honoring their stories and enabling them to feel heard, unjudged, and respected. This alliance, I believe, is fundamental to the results we collaboratively attain in therapy. I work with children, teens, young adults, seniors, couples, and families from a person-centered, systemic, and strength-based lens.

Are you currently facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, trauma, grief, or stress? Perhaps you are navigating difficult relationship dynamics or coping with significant life transitions? These are just a few of the hurdles that many individuals face, and can deeply impact your day-to-day life, relationships, and overall well-being. You are not alone. Many individuals, regardless of background or identity, are experiencing similar emotions—feeling anxious, uncertain, and overwhelmed by the struggles they face. Life can be different. You deserve support and guidance to get you there.

It is my privilege to bear witness to your healing journey. I believe that people are the catalyst for the change they desire, and my role is to support that change in a way that feels meaningful to you. My counselling approach is flexible and creative, with an emphasis on the importance of therapeutic connection. I am truly passionate about working with adolescents, teens, and families.
