"You  have  to  take  a  leap  of  faith  and  believe  that  living  an  authentic  life  of  personal  power  and  pride  is  more  important  than  the  fear  and  pain  that  have  been  holding  you  back." - Sari Solden

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
