Mental health is just as important as physical health. If you’re feeling a bit down, or maybe you thought you heard something, you’d probably shrug it off. But, if it persists or gets worse, like you’re constantly sad, don’t want to leave the house, and constantly feeling tired or you’ve been seeing someone following and you feel that your brain is disorganized, then you need to see a mental health clinician like a psychotherapist. Even when you’re experiencing the subtle symptoms, it never hurts to have a check up. Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to start your healing journey.

Psychotherapy will help you understand yourself and your behaviour. By talking to a trained therapist you will gain insight into yourself and awareness of why you do what you do, and ways to change it. Psychotherapy looks at what you think, believe, and feel, and how that affects the way you live your life. By changing how you think, you can change how you believe, and change how you feel.

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.

Psychotherapy is commonly known as talk therapy. The main goal with psychotherapy is to help individuals with their mental health. Psychotherapists practice from a variety of evidence-based modalities. Together, we will determine your goals and decide which approach to take. Please contact me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation where we can explore your presenting concern, determine if we are a good fit for therapy and I can answer any questions that you may have.

Therapy is where change begins. If you feel like you are simply getting by, managing the best you can, and showing up, but something isn't working anymore, therapy is a step in the right direction. The goal is to work alongside you, helping you navigate the changes you experience in your mid-later life. Together, we address your concerns and set realistic goals using a combination of therapeutic techniques, compassionate listening and conversation to support your healing journey. We work at a pace that honours your experiences. You don't have to have it all figured out to start. Many people arrive without certainty or a diagnosis. I work with adult individuals and couples navigating change.

My starting point in any work I do with clients is to build a strong connection between us. This done through listening, respect, creating safety, and really being present with the client when we are together. I believe this is vital to any therapy I do. I provide an atmosphere that the client can feel heard and seen for who they are. Every session may look different because it is based on the clients needs, situation, and goals for therapy.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). I have extensive experience in community mental health and private practice.

My availability is intentionally limited to support thoughtful, high-quality care.

If therapy were to be successful for you, what would be different in your life? How would you know that this process was a good use of your time and money? - How you answer those questions is very important, those answers set the (initial) destination as we set out on this journey together. Client directed therapy means that your goals are the compass that guides our work, and we will regularly check in to assess what is working and not working in helping you reach those goals. Every client is different, and our work will be built on proven modalities and techniques, while also being specific to you.

Psychotherapy is a space where you don’t have to carry everything alone. Working with me means having a compassionate and collaborative environment where we focus on understanding—not judging—your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Clients often share that therapy with me feels grounding, transparent, and deeply human. I combine evidence-based approaches with genuine empathy and curiosity, tailoring each session to your needs and pace. You can expect a mix of exploration, practical strategies, and emotional support designed to help you move toward balance, connection, and self-trust.

I use psychotherapy for both long term and short term benefit. During the first session we will set short term achievable goals and over the course of therapy I will encourage you to widen your scope and envision bigger dreams. We will look at past trauma/issues that have created psychological blocks and work on resolving them in order to create healthy change and transformation.
