Since beginning my career in psychotherapy in 2012, I have gained diverse experience working within school boards and community mental health agencies, serving both as a Psychotherapist and Psychometrist. Alongside my practice, I also contribute to the academic field as an adjunct professor of counselling psychology.
My theoretical approach integrates attachment, trauma-informed, and cognitive frameworks to understand emotional and behavioural distress. Every client is different; therefore, I customize every approach and intervention to the needs of each unique individual. I employ an active directive approach, while providing unconditional positive regard to allow clients the space to do the work they have come to do.

I offer a collaborative, evidence informed, compassionate, and non-judgmental therapeutic space, as I believe that these factors are necessary for healing. I am particularly passionate about supporting parents and caregivers in strengthening their confidence and relationships with their children. I also have a special interest in working with individuals and families navigating fertility journeys and related medical interventions.
Outside of my clinical work, I am a mother of two and I enjoy spending time in nature, caring for my many plants, and unwinding with a good book and tea.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with experience working with children, adults, families, and couples as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions. My approach to therapy is holistic and personalized, recognizing that emotional well-being is shaped by both our internal experiences and the relationships and environments around us.
I work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, stress, trauma and post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, and relationship concerns. I also work with couples who feel stuck in cycles of conflict, distance, or misunderstanding. Together we explore the patterns that develop in relationships and the underlying emotional needs that often drive them. I also provide supervision to clinicians who are new to the field and/or seeking clinical supervision in their work.
My post-graduate training, thus far, has focused mainly on Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). My therapeutic work also incorporates Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, grief therapy, and art therapy. When working with couples, I draw on evidence-based approaches that consider human developmental factors, attachment and current relational patterns. I am also knowledgeable in infant and early mental health.
I believe that healing happens within safe and trusting relationships. My goal is to support you in working toward your therapeutic goals with compassion and care.
