Psychotherapy is a journey with a therapist working on the issues that you are concerned with. In this journey, you and your therapist work collaboratively, respectfully and purposefully on your issues. In the course of the therapy, you and your therapist explore, learn skills, gain insights and make changes. With over 12 years of clinical experiences, I humbly and wholeheartedly want to walk this journey with you. I value strongly the rapport between the client and the therapist. I believe in a holistic view of wellbeing and emphasize in cultivating the mind wellness. I offer integrative approaches to meet your needs. Please don't hesitate to reach out and start to make the change now.

Psychotherapy is a talk-based therapy in which folks can explore their concerns related to life challenges, stressors, mental health and well-being in a non-judgemental space. I believe that “individual” concerns go beyond the individual and are deeply connected to the way we interact with the world and others. As such, my approach to psychotherapy draws on systemic therapies that focus on broader sociocultural influences, intersections of identity and relational patterns. I value collaboration, authenticity and anti-oppressive practice in the therapeutic space. Contact me for a free consultation to determine if we would be a good fit.

I am a transformative and depth psychotherapist. This means that I look beyond the symptoms in order to assist my clients in discovering a more meaningful and fulfilling way to cope with life's inevitable dips and conflicts. It does little long lasting good to treat only the consequences of deeply ensconced processes that we have little knowledge of. While working with me, my clients and I go to where the root cause of their issues reside and gently and safely observe them and understand them with the ultimate goal of gaining control over them.

I have a Master of Science Degree in Couples & Family Therapy from the University of Guelph, one of the most prestigious psychotherapy programs in the country. I incorporate various models of therapy into my work, including: Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and more. I value being transparent, authentic, and compassionate.

I offer a compassionate and client-centered approach, fostering a safe space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions. Through active listening and understanding, I work collaboratively with clients to identify goals and challenges. Evidence-based techniques and therapeutic interventions empower clients to gain valuable insights, develop coping strategies, and create positive changes. Benefits include increased self-awareness, improved emotional regulation, enhanced communication skills, and the ability to overcome obstacles for a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Many people have ideas about how therapy should look or feel based on what they have seen in movies or tv, and some of those ideas can be scary or intimidating. Therapy should be a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing and exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with someone who offers you empathy, authenticity, and acceptance. I believe that clients are the experts in their lives and will work collaboratively with you to explore the stories you hold about yourself and the world around you to find meaning, facilitate change, and highlight your strengths and successes.

Art therapy and counselling support deeper self-exploration, emotional processing, and integration of difficult life experiences. This may involve talking, creative expression, and somatic awareness, depending on your needs, and is guided by collaboration, consent, and a pace that feels safe and supportive. Art therapy can support you in gaining greater self-insight, self-awareness, and sense of mindfulness in order to live a more fulfilling life.

I believe that working from a client-centred approach is essential in fostering lasting change. As such, I view each client as an expert in their own lives and integrate their goals in the therapeutic process. My approach draws on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy (therapy through relationship), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and neurophysiological research. I specialize in mental health, addictions, trauma, ABI, depression, anxiety, and other emotion and attention regulation difficulties. I offer short-term counselling and long-term psychotherapy to youth, adults, and couples in groups and individually.

My approach does not focus on discussing what may be wrong with you, but rather explore your experiences, your strengths, and collectively search for a balance in your life through psychotherapeutic interventions and psychoeducation. If you do not know why you have come to this page but you feel something may be off, please connect. Together we will work on better understanding you. My goal is for my nonjudgmental and inclusive approach to collaborate with you to best meet your needs and life goals through strength-based narrative, solution-focused, emotion-focused, and cognitive-behavioural modalities.

In addition to finding relief from symptoms such as anxiety and depression, I believe it is also necessary to look at the source of those symptoms. Not doing so would be akin to treating a physical ailment without looking for the cause. It is from this deeper work that lasting change and growth can come. As a depth-oriented psychotherapist, I work with people to gain insight, find meaning in their lives, and find more effective ways of being and relating to others. It is through this process that change, growth, and wholeness result. We all want happier, more fulfilling lives. I will help you work toward your goals.
