I provide psychotherapy and counselling for adults (18+) who are navigating personal challenges. My approach centers on creating a space where you feel truly heard and accepted because trust is key to meaningful change. I also incorporate values like social justice, community, and compassion into our work together, as I think they're crucial for healing. My own life has taught me how powerful connection and personal growth can be, and it is this passion that led me to become a therapist. I believe everyone has the ability to create a life that feels fulfilling and meaningful. My goal is to help you unlock that potential by offering a safe, supportive space where you can grow and thrive. I'm a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), and I offer both in-person and virtual therapy sessions.

Therapy Style
In our sessions, you’ll experience a compassionate, person-centred approach where the focus is on your unique journey and growth. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel valued, respected, and truly heard. Through deep listening and empathic understanding, I reflect your thoughts and emotions, helping you explore your feelings in a way that encourages self-awareness and insight. I bring authenticity to our work, fostering trust and openness so you feel comfortable being honest and vulnerable. While grounded in person-centred therapy, I integrate various techniques, such as Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic Therapy, and occasionally Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to meet your specific needs. Together, we’ll work towards your personal growth, resilience, and self-acceptance, empowering you to make decisions that align with your values and unlock lasting emotional well-being.
"We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know."
- Carl Rogers
