I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Before becoming a psychologist, I spent several years working as a hospital social worker, supporting individuals and families through complex emotional, medical, and life challenges. That experience shaped the compassionate, practical, and down-to-earth approach I bring to therapy today.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported. My approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I work closely with clients to help them better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices. Alongside insight and emotional processing, I focus on providing practical tools and strategies that clients can apply in their everyday lives.

I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, emotional overwhelm, stress, self-esteem difficulties, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves, and together we work toward building resilience, self-awareness, confidence, and healthier ways of coping.

Clients often appreciate my warm, approachable nature and balanced style that combines empathy with practical support. My goal is to help clients feel empowered, supported, and equipped to move forward in a way that aligns with their values and the life they want to create.
