My Style & Approach

Life can be challenging. Navigating and making sense of our experiences can often seem overwhelming, leaving you feeling stuck or out of sync with your true self.

My method stems from person-centred therapy through natural conversation. You are the expert of your life, and I am here to support you along the way. My goal is to tailor my approach to best meet your needs.

My hope is to create a comfortable, judgement-free space for you to be yourself and explore your thoughts and feelings. I emphasize empathy and respect, as I believe these are the building blocks to a strong foundation that creates trust and allows us space to be vulnerable. My goal is to provide you with the tools to navigate and overcome life’s ups and downs. I believe in a holistic, integrative approach to therapy. Therapy is not “one-size fits all” so I will use different techniques (modalities) to help support your goals.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, let’s work together to reconnect you with yourself, make sense of your experiences, and reach your fullest potential.

Education, Training, & Professional Development

I am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University. Prior to the pursuing of my Master’s, I completed an Honours Bachelor of Arts with a double major in Psychology and Sociology at the University of Western Ontario. During my time at Western, I developed an interest in working with First Responders. I have continued to educate myself to learn ways I can best support those who dedicate their lives to serving and protecting the community. I am currently in the process of obtaining my Certified First Responder Associate certification.

In addition to my commitment to continuous education, I volunteer with CMHA to provide support to the community. Through my work with CMHA, I have gained experience in working with diverse populations. It is important to me that everyone has access to support, and I strive to ensure everyone I connect with feels validated and heard. I’ve discovered that when people feel truly heard, validated, and understood, they often find the resilience to overcome their challenges. My role is to support and facilitate that process.

I am dedicated to continuing my professional development through obtaining a variety of certifications across different areas of interest so I can best support everyone’s unique journey.

My certifications include:

• The Gottman Institute - Gottman Method Couples Therapy –Level 1 (2024)

• Beck Institute - Basics of CBT: Essentials I (2024)

• LivingWorks – Start (2024)

• Academy Hour – Certified First Responder Associate (In

Personal interests

Outside of the office, I like to enjoy a hot cup of tea and a sweet treat. You can usually find me engaged in conversation, whether it be with a human or an animal. Needless to say, I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I am a fan of many types of music and cuisines.
