My psychotherapy interests include anxiety disorders, trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD, OCD, personality disorders, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, chronic illness, grief and bereavement.
I am a Psychological Associate in Supervised Practice. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship between therapist and client is crucial to healing and the facilitation of growth. I strive to achieve this through connecting with my clients, understanding their goals and concerns, and creating a safe, non-judgmental space. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings. I have gained substantial experience conducting clinical assessments and individual therapy through clinical internships and employment at several private practices in Toronto, Ontario.

The pain living in our bodies, our unconscious, our psyches - these old patterns that keep blocking us - are directly blocking our aliveness.
It is seeming all too normal these days to experience feelings of disconnection. A separation from ourselves, our passions, our bodies, our communities, etc. We spend so much time in our heads trying to figure out how to survive when we so desperately want to be thriving. Where has our aliveness gone? How do we get our bodies and our senses back online and truly show up for our unique experience?

Topics include: life and work transitions, grief and loss, finding or renewing faith, living with illness, religious trauma healing, discovering your intuitive abilities and/or giftedness, and more.
You know that you have many questions about your life and purpose, but are not sure how to begin to understand or discern the answers. You know that the answers are within you and within reach. But, how do you set aside a time and place to find them, and with whom will you have as a guide for this important inner work? Together, we can create a sacred space and time to allow these insights to emerge and movement to begin. My work is both secular and faith-based, and available for people of all genders, cultures, faiths, and abilities.

I have extensive experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds who are navigating life with anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, ongoing dilemmas, grief and/or chronic illness.
Are you feeling stuck in life? Do you feel isolated? Are you having difficulty moving forward after a painful loss or life change? Are you looking for ways to better manage your emotions? It is my belief that our unique life experiences require a personalized approach to help us reach our goals in the face of pain. One size does not fit all. Sessions with me are experiential in nature, with a focus on developing present moment awareness of one’s inner and outer world. Through the cultivation of mindfulness and other skills, I aim to help individuals harness that self knowledge to find ways to engage in values-based living.

Your relationships can be an incredible source of pleasure and connection, AND they can be the biggest source of tension and exhaustion. You might feel rigid and uncreative, or be falling into people-pleasing habits. You may feel overwhelming physical sensations of constriction, pain or numbness. You play a vast range of roles in your friendships, romantic & intimate dynamics, and at work. This can be a lot to handle, and you may be masking your authentic self. Creative arts therapy can offer new ways to find playfulness so you can relax into intimacy in your relationships, your body, and fully own the stories that shape you.
