My approach to psychotherapy extends beyond traditional talk therapy. While dialogue is part of our work, much of the process involves tuning into what your body and nervous system are communicating beneath the words. Using evidence-based, experiential methods informed by neuroscience, polyvagal theory, and somatics, we explore how emotion, memory, and physiology interact. This process helps create safety and awareness in the body, fosters emotional regulation, and supports lasting change in how you think, feel, and behave. Through this therapeutic relationship, you can experience transformation at both the emotional and behavioural levels.

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 Psychotherapist of Ontario (CRPO) and a registered social worker with the Ontario College of Social Work and Social Services Worker (OCSWSSW).

I use psychotherapy for both long term and short term benefit.
