My Style & Approach

Welcome to a space dedicated to your personal growth. I am happy you have stumbled across my profile and proud of you for taking this courageous step because you matter. In my eyes, therapy is a gentle journey for the soul. It's not only about confronting our fears; it's also about softly embracing the chance to understand and love ourselves on a deeper level. Through my own journey of self-discovery, I’ve come to understand that we have the ability to shape our actions and reactions in any situation. We can steer our lives in the direction we want, though sometimes an encouraging prompt is helpful in unlocking our full potential and moving forward. In my work, I cherish creating a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore life's complexities together. I strive to make you feel heard, seen and understood as there is strength in vulnerability. I embrace a holistic approach to mental health and wellness, guided by the belief that each person has everything within themselves to align with their true, authentic self.

As both a consumer and provider of mental health care, I understand the bravery it takes to seek support and value the comfort of having a compassionate ally by your side. I see therapy as a collaborative partnership between client and therapist. We will work together to customize an approach that meets your individual needs and goals as therapy is not “one-size-fits-all”. I deeply respect the fact that you know yourself best and am committed to meeting you where you are. I use a range of evidence-based techniques to help you build healthier coping strategies and achieve positive change. Together, we can tackle the challenges you encounter, identify your strengths, and strive to create a life that resonates with your values and ideals.

Education, Training, & Professional Development

I am currently a Master of Arts student completing a degree in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy at Wilfrid Laurier University. In 2019, I graduated with an honours bachelor's degree in Psychology from Toronto Metropolitan University. I possess over 8 years of experience working with those diagnosed with mental disorders ranging from the ages 3 to 70 years old in both healthcare and educational settings. I am comfortable using a combination of medical, psychological, and spiritual coaching services to help individuals reach their goals. It is important to note that I obtained Mental Health First Aid and Sexual Violence Response certifications.

Over the course of therapy, I will integrate interventions from multiple approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Person-centred Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solutions Focused Therapy (SFT) – depending on what best suits your needs.

Personal interests

I love spending quality time with my family, friends, and sweet dogs Lyla and Hailey. I find true happiness in the small pleasures of life—like strolling through neighbourhoods to appreciate their unique architecture or enjoying a perfectly crafted latte at a cozy cafe. I prioritize self-care through staying active and meditation. I have a passion for travelling the world with my partner. In particular, I love exploring oceanfront locations as I feel most at ease when swimming or

simply being by the water.
