I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, and member of the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.

My education includes a Diploma of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy from OPC’s 5-year training program, and a Certificate in DBT-Informed Therapy from Adler Graduate Professional School. I also hold an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from York University and am a Certified Yoga Teacher, both of which continue to inspire my therapeutic approach.

Faced with life’s difficulties, demands, and heart breaks, we may come to therapy seeking to ease our suffering, to make sense of what we’re experiencing and feeling, or to obtain some clarity, context, and understanding for what’s happening (or has happened) to us.

As a therapist, I aim to provide you with a secure space to explore these experiences. Working from a person centred and culturally sensitive lens, we’ll look at your struggles in a holistic way, both identifying what may be at the root of what you’re going through, and also how to support you in moving through it to make desired changes.

If you’re looking for help, please feel welcome to reach out for 15-minute virtual or phone consultation. Let’s see whether I’d be the right fit for you.

I provide psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, and couples. I specialize working with the following issues:

Addiction

Anxiety

Attachment

Borderline Personality (BPD)

Codependency

Depression

Emotional Dysregulation

We all experience tension, between growing towards our potential and a sense of safety by keeping things the way they are. Without a clear understanding of how to move forward many of us experience anxiety or feel stuck. The purpose of Psychotherapy is to open up new possibilities for ourselves. There is no formula for personal growth because I believe every person’s journey is unique. Maybe you catch glimpses of your true potential, of your life as you would like it to be, but the pathway is not always obvious.

I will help you to tune into the person you really are, and enable you to orient yourself to the world based on your goals. This process is both creative and liberating!

I believe in the importance of authenticity and building a genuine connection with each person. I customize my use of skills and knowledge to the person you are. As we work together, you will arrive at a clearer understanding of yourself and grow towards fulfilling your goals.​

The types of therapy that I primarily use are:

Existential Therapy

Adlerian Therapy

Person-Centered Therapy

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

Narrative Therapy

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Psychodynamic Therapy

Some specific issues that I can help with are:

Anxiety

Depression

Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD)

Attention Disorders (ADHD, Executive Functioning, Time Organization)

Addictions & Substance Abuse

Relationship Issues

Loss, Grief & Bereavement

I also have experience working as a Mental Health and Addictions Case Manager and more than a decade supporting people with developmental disabilities and mental health diagnoses.

I hope that you feel encouraged as you think about psychotherapy. Dr. Rollo May wrote the following quote about people seeking therapy: “Very often they are the more sensitive and gifted members of society”.

By considering therapy, you are already exploring the deeper responsibility of loving exactly who you are. I look forward meeting you.

Welcome! I believe as humans we are relational beings, and that life is about navigating the relationships between ourselves, others, and our environment. I am passionate about helping my clients discover and explore those moments that impact their sense of self-awareness and growth. The quality of the relationships we have with ourselves, those around us and the way we engage ourselves in our daily lives are the keys to a meaningful and purposeful life. The more aware and accepting of our blind spots we are, the more we can create the changes we want, and embrace ourselves, our process in life, and experience greater life satisfaction and enjoyment. I am here to help you on your journey.

My past experiences as an Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) Therapist allows me to determine the relationship between our behaviour and our environment, the root functions of our behaviours, and the associated consequences. My diverse experience in helping clients identify and replace maladaptive behaviours with new healthier behaviours, and meeting client’s needs through integrative psychotherapy has enriched my skills.

I aim to support and facilitate your transition to a more fulfilling reality. In a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic space, I am committed to ensuring that you are heard and collaborating together with you to cultivate adaptive coping skills.

I understand how hard it is to reach out with several thoughts plaguing you. I do not believe there is a “one size fits all” approach to therapy or personal growth. With time and effort, I believe tailored approaches to your personal goals will be fruitful beyond even what you thought would be possible.

I encourage you to schedule a 15-minute phone/virtual session with me and take the first step. I look forward to working with you!

Do you ever feel like life shouldn’t be this hard? It doesn’t have to be! Think of your brain as a messy drawer; stress, conflict, and trauma disorganize our brain. Memories are scrambled and coping skills are hidden. Therapy lets us empty our drawers, put them in order, throw out what we no longer need, and find the things we’ve been searching for.

Over my 14 years in practice, and my time as a fully Registered Psychotherapist, I’ve been lucky enough to witness the profound changes that come from ‘doing the work’ in therapy. My goal is to provide you with relief from your current symptoms, as well as the opportunity to explore past experiences and allow for long term healing. After our time together, you should be able to feel heard, confident, successful, and peaceful.

Having been diagnosed with anxiety in childhood, I know the challenges a mental health diagnosis presents and how frustrating the process of treatment can be. As a wife and working mom to two children, I also know the extra pressures that it can place on an already full life.

I’d love the opportunity to support you and your family. Contact me for a complimentary 15-minute consultation.
