I believe that therapy should be a space where you feel safe, understood and accepted as you are. My goal is to work alongside you, as the expert of your own life, to understand your challenges and develop practical tools to build confidence in navigating life’s ups and downs.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario (CRPO). I have completed a Bachelor of Arts from Wilfrid Laurier University and specialized training in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; being the primary modalities I use in my practice.

I have a particular interest in working with youth women and young families and supporting clients through the challenges that can arise at different stages of life. I work with a range of presenting concerns including anxiety, depression, addictions, emotional regulation, stress, self-esteem and coping with overwhelming emotions. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals through periods of  crisis and suicidal ideation and I understand the importance of feeling heard, supported and met with compassion during these difficult times. Above all, I want you to feel empowered on your journey. I invite you to book an appointment or consultation so we can connect to see if working together feels like the right fit.

When I am not working I enjoy being outdoors, preferably by the water with the people closest to me. I love reading, listening to music, going for walks and enjoying a good coffee.
