I am a compassionate Registered Psychotherapist in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I have over eight years of experience providing mental health services to teens and adults from diverse backgrounds in private clinics, hospitals, and educational settings. I am committed to supporting you in your journey to heal from past trauma, manage mood and anxiety disorders, overcome addiction, and address emotional disturbances and relationship challenges.
Driven by my deep commitment to client support, I will tailor my approach to meet your individual needs. I integrate a variety of evidence-based modalities such as DBT, CBT, CPT, MI, Emotionally-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and Mindfulness-Based approaches.
I aim to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood. I believe in the power of empathy and connection in the therapeutic process. We work collaboratively to explore your thoughts, develop new coping strategies, and foster positive changes in your life.
