Hello and welcome!
With clarity and compassion, I support my clients to set and reach goals, break habitual patterns and find better ways of coping with the pain and stress of life. Most humans experience emotional suffering and have unwelcome thoughts. We get stuck in the past, worry about the future and face daily stressors related work, school, relationships and life in general.
I work with adults and youth (14+) on a diverse range of mental health issues, often related to anxiety, trauma, ADHD, OCD, neurodivergence, stress management, perfectionism and low self esteem. Some have been struggling for years, and others are newly suffering due to a loss or other big life change. Most are confused and frustrated by whatever pulls them away from living a more intentional life. They are stuck, lost and seeking a place that feels safe inside and out.
My approach is informed by mindfulness and attachment based modalities including Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and Somatic Psychotherapy. I’m committed to a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive practice and I’m an LGBT2SQ-friendly health care provider.
I have a Masters in Counselling Psychology and I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).
