I am here to support your child, teen, or young adult in developing the skills and strategies needed to manage sadness, anxiety, anger, social difficulties, or challenges with planning and organizing tasks. I also address specific issues, including OCD and tics. If you're a young adult seeking therapy, you might be feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, doubting yourself because of OCD, or feeling stuck in a low mood that keeps you from staying active and engaged in your life. Perhaps you're hoping to improve relationships with friends or family. Let’s work together to navigate these challenges and find a path forward.

My areas of focus & experience include: depression, anxiety, unhealthy coping behaviours (e.g. substance misuse, self-injury, excessive gaming or internet use), transitional life stages (e.g. pregnancy & postpartum, starting or finishing school, retiring), school or work stress, identity questions/self-discovery, and meaning-making & existential concerns.

I have always seen myself as a helper. I began my career as an elementary school teacher, and while I loved many things about teaching, I realized that I wanted to help in a different way. After completing my Master of Education in Counselling Psychology at the University of Toronto, I spent 12 years at a children’s mental health centre where I worked primarily with teenagers and caregivers. It was in this work that I discovered my passion for helping others uncover and strengthen their innate abilities to cope with challenges, process difficult past experiences, and find new meaning and understanding in their lives.

Your traumas don’t define you… If you’ve tried different therapies with various therapists and still struggle with the same symptoms, it’s not your fault. You know the skills, the techniques, yet you’re still easily triggered, and stress feels unmanageable. That’s because your brain is holding onto past trauma, constantly reminding you of what happened, making you feel unsafe. Anxiety becomes your brain’s way of protecting you from these feelings.

My primary interest is providing interpersonal and relationship therapy to individuals and couples. In relationships, small feelings and emotions can become bigger and heavier leading to feeling unworthy, inadequate, or unlovable, and can impact mental health/wellness. Our relationships require ongoing work. Love needs to be nourished and nurtured. Suppose you are looking into exploring, developing, and expanding your understanding to deal with issues you are facing in your everyday life/interpersonal relationships. In that case, you have arrived at the right therapeutic space. Learning the art of love and feeling loved is possible.
