Everyone experiences stressors. At times, it’s possible to manage them on our own, but sometimes it’s beneficial to seek extra help. When life’s challenges become overwhelming, finding a good fit with a mental health clinician can be one of the first steps on your journey toward a balanced and fulfilling life. When I partner with you, I will help you to face and cope with life’s inevitable stressors.

My approach to therapy is Integrative and brings together Cognitive-Behavioural, Emotion-Focused, Dialectical-Behavioural, and Humanistic modalities. My work is also trauma-informed and draws from Body-Based, Attachment-Focused, and Mindfulness-Based interventions to help you find safety and integration. Together, our work will focus on building insight and self-compassion as you come to understand your internal experience in a way that both makes sense and is healing to you, and developing skills and solutions to manage symptoms, and helping you achieve a life worth living in accordance with your values.

At the heart of my practice is a passion for helping clients develop insight and awareness into their own mental health challenges and develop the skills to cope effectively. Personally and professionally, I believe in the transformative power of mindfulness, and I integrate this into therapy using Mindfulness-integrated CBT. I am deeply committed to providing client-centered therapy, where the focus is on fostering a warm and collaborative relationship with each client, built on trust, empathy, and mutual respect.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and a member of the College of Psychologists of Ontario. My approach is focused on creating safety, and facilitating self-awareness and a healthy relationship with yourself. Beyond that, I help use this awareness to promote healing, meet unrepaired needs, and replace patterns causing distress with effective coping strategies. I work with teenagers, young adults, adults, and older adults. I draw on multiple therapy approaches, including Emotion-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and third-wave approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
