Prioritizing mental health is integral to our overall well-being and an invaluable investment in ourselves, and our important relationships. Building on this philosophy, I provide a warm and welcoming space for individuals (18+) and couples to work on areas of life that feel challenging, confusing and sometimes painful.

My approach is based on your needs. Together, we create a plan that moves you forward towards goals and areas of improvement in your life that are important to you.

I work with people individually experiencing anxiety in its many forms, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, coercive control, intimate partner violence, PTSD and trauma. As well, I currently support professionals building intentional goals who experience perfectionism, difficulty focussing, relationship challenges and burnout.

Much of our work together will focus on emotion regulation and being able to find a calm, centred presence amidst life’s challenges. We achieve this by using various therapeutic techniques, including Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic techniques, and Gottman Couples work.

As well, I am committed to ongoing professional development, particularly in the area of sexuality. This includes attending professional development workshops and beginning formal coursework in Professional Sexuality Practices. This is complimented by professional mentorship and supervision with a certified sex therapist. This training supports my work with intimacy, connection, and relational concerns

I have been a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario since 2022. I have been trained as a Hypnotist since 2018, and offer it as optional therapy for those seeking a more holistic approach to their well-being.

In addition to Hypnotherapy, I also draw from a variety of experiential-based frameworks, including Brainspotting, Parts Therapy (Internal Family Systems), Body Psychotherapy, and mindfulness-based therapies. I have worked with individuals struggling with a range of challenges, including but not limited to perfectionism, anxiety, depression, panic, ADHD, trauma, stress, self-image, self-worth, career concerns, fertility, chronic illness, PTSD, relationship issues, fear of public speaking, performance anxiety, phobias, and addiction.
