About

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with CRPO. I received my Bachelor of Science from University of Toronto and Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. 

I am passionate about supporting clients on their journey of healing, growth, and change. My approach to therapeutic work is collaborative as I recognize that individuals are experts of their own lives.

Therapy with me is relational and collaborative, meaning that we take our time to establish a safe and non-judgmental relationship where there is respect and assurance that your voice is going to be heard. The therapeutic relationship is important as it forms the foundation of our work together because without this relationship that allows for trust and rapport, it might be hard to feel safe and connected enough to be open about your experiences and expectations for therapy.

I specialize in working with clients 18 + with Trauma, Anxiety, Self-Esteem/Self-Worth Concerns, Stress, Domestic Abuse/Relational Abuse, Emotion Dysregulation, Racial Trauma, and Depression. I utilize trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and a strength-based lens in my therapeutic work with clients.

My role as a therapist is ever-evolving; I might start off guiding and providing education, then move on to collaborating with you or taking the role of a cheerleader as you gain insights and take steps that align with your needs. This is not linear and my role could change depending on circumstances or where you are on your journey. 

I believe that change happens in a genuine, empathic, and compassionate therapeutic relationship. Therefore, my goal is to create a genuine, empathic, and collaborative relationship with clients as we work towards building resiliency, uncovering strengths, developing coping strategies, and establishing hope.

I have training & experience in the following modalities:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Attachment Focused Therapy

Emotion Focused Therapy

Solution Focused Therapy

Motivational Interviewing

Brain-spotting

EMDR

Outside of therapy I enjoy reading, & spending time with family and friends.
