Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I want you to know that you don’t have to do it alone. I aim to create a warm, collaborative space where you can show up just as you are, without any pressure to have everything figured out.

I work from a client-centred and trauma-informed approach, which means that I move at your pace and focus on what matters most to you. I also like to bring a bit of humour into the work when it feels right. Life is heavy enough sometimes, and I’ve found that a little lightness can go a long way in helping us feel human, connected, and more at ease. Whether you’re dealing with stress, burnout, relationship struggles, or simply looking to feel more grounded, I’m here to support you in making sense of your experience and moving toward the life that you want.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO and am completing my Masters in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I am a mother, wife, sister, daughter, and friend, and I bring a rich lived experience to my role as therapist. From that experience, I know life can be challenging, with unexpected twists and turns, and I want to hear your story. What has shaped you, what are the significant events in your life, and what has brought you to counselling? My aim is to create a non-judgmental, safe, and inclusive space for all my clients. We will work collaboratively to establish goals and help you make the necessary changes to feel more fulfilled in your life. Whether you are seeking personal growth, improved relationships, or simply a listening ear, I look forward to working with you.
