Accepting new clients in person (The Junction, Toronto) and virtual. Trauma & PTSD specialization with First Responders. When most clients come to me they don't know where to start and they haven't been able to overcome their problems alone or with their friend's advice. My clients need someone to listen, someone who knows about the fake face, someone who can help them understand "why"; and help them find a way to get healthy. I have a Masters in Counseling Psychology from OISE UofT the University of Toronto where I learned to use research-supported methods to help clients be empowered. Clients are always the experts on themselves.

Life can feel heavy sometimes - whether it’s the weight of anxiety, stress, depression, or trauma that keeps resurfacing. You might be carrying grief, struggling with self-worth, or feeling lost in your relationships. Maybe living with ADHD has you feeling overwhelmed and stuck in self-criticism. Whatever you're going through, you don’t have to carry it alone. I believe healing happens in a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard. If you're ready to live with more authenticity, self-acceptance, and vibrancy, I'm here to walk alongside you, at your own pace.

Does this sound like you? You're a highly sensitive person and or empath. Maybe you're the Type A, overachieving type who has a hard time truly saying what you mean or setting boundaries with the people in your life. You're passionate about personal growth, willing to "do the work" - maybe you've even been to therapy before. For you, maybe it shows up as anxiety or ADHD, maybe it's a difficult relationship with your mom or dad, a history of childhood trauma, difficulty breaking bad habits, workplace stress/burnout, procrastination, difficulty in your romantic relationship, or a sense of worthlessness you just can't seem to heal

I take an integrative approach to therapy, meaning I draw from a variety of therapeutic styles to create a personalized experience that works for you. I favour experiential modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS)/parts work, which helps us explore and understand the different parts of you that may have conflicting needs or desires—for example, one part may long for love while another fears commitment. By working with these parts, we can reduce inner conflict and foster more balance and self-compassion. Alongside IFS, I incorporate practical and grounded tools from cognitive modalities.

As humans it is easy to feel overwhelmed by our thoughts and emotions and manage their impact on our relationships and reaching life goals. Making sense of life and feeling more balanced is possible when working with a therapist you feel connected and comfortable with. My therapy approach is grounded in the values of acceptance, compassion, authenticity, and collaboration.

You put others first, are kind, hard working, and attuned to the world around you. But what people don’t see is the struggle within. Familiar feelings of guilt, self-doubt, indecision, and inadequacy hover just below the surface. The longer you stay the course, the more invisible you become in your own life. You’ve bottled up your feelings and needs for too long - it's time for change. You don’t have to remain a prisoner to your past, the perceived expectations of others, or to "towing the line" of social norms. I’m here to help you find your voice, sense of self, and to create fulfillment in your life & relationships.

There are times when life gets hard, messy or shaken up, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, or lost reckoning with somethings we didn’t expect to. There are also times when we simply get that nagging feeling that there’s something we want to address, and maybe start to feel curious about what healing can be for us. In this space I welcome working with different experiences, however big or small, present or past. Sometimes this may look like anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, impact of trauma, navigating relationships, sense of self (self-worth, self-love, inadequacy, etc.), student life, life transitions and loss.
