Hi there!

Congrats on taking the first step on your healing journey by simply looking into your options for a therapist.

I’ve seen that life can be beautiful, but it can also be challenging with times of suffering and change. Sometimes, it can feel like everything is working against you, and it is hard just to get up in the morning and keep going. You may be dealing with some sort of loss or a life transition that is causing you anxiety, stress, grief, anger, increased substance use, or leaving you asking existential questions like “What is my purpose in life, who am I?” If this is the case, I’m here to support you.

I take a holistic approach to mental wellbeing recognizing the profound importance of the mind, body, and spirit connection. I work with people from all walks of life including neurodivergent and 2SLGBTQ+ and believe in creating an open non-judgmental space for you to express yourself.

Together, we can seek to understand and explore the root causes of your issues. I work integratively, drawing from several therapeutic modalities, such as CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, to name only a few. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing, so together, we can collaborate to find what works for you.

If it sounds like we could be a good match for each other, then please reach out and/or book a free consultation or session.

I look forward to meeting you and helping to support you on your journey!

A range of emotions and life experiences can encourage us to seek therapy. You may be feeling stressed, anxious, lost, grieving, struggling with substance dependence, or experiencing other uncomfortable emotions. Perhaps you hope to gain more self-awareness. If so, I am honoured to support you earnestly in fulfilling and celebrating your goals.

Hearing people’s life stories is one of the driving forces behind my passion for counselling. I aim to compassionately facilitate the understanding and unravelling of these stories and their patterns in a meaningful way, allowing life to be lived more joyfully. With over six years of experience in various roles supporting neurodivergent individuals diagnosed with ASD, as well as their families, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, youth, and adults. Additionally, I have a year of experience working with different populations presenting various mental health needs.

My services extend to individual, couple, and family counselling. My approach to therapy is to create a safe and comfortable space for clients to express themselves freely. I strive to make this space genuine and down-to-earth, considering each client’s unique preferences and cultural backgrounds. I approach therapeutic work with humility and respect for individuals’ inherent wisdom and agency.

My goal is to help individuals feel safe enough within themselves and their environments to be their true selves. The following quote by Maryam Hasnaa encapsulates my outlook on therapy: “A healer does not heal you. A healer is someone who holds space for you while you awaken your inner healer so that you may heal yourself”. I view psychotherapy as a powerful tool for helping individuals better understand themselves and their world, navigate transitions, shed unhelpful patterns, and move towards a more creative and empowered state.

My practice is person-centred and trauma-responsive. I prioritize nervous system regulation to cultivate a profound sense of safety at a therapeutic pace. I utilize an integrative therapeutic approach, applying experiential and humanistic modalities while drawing from various other frameworks, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and psychodynamic.

I am a registered psychotherapist and specialize in contemporary relational psychoanalysis, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and brain-based holistic approaches to support your mind, body, and spirit as you journey through life/work transitions, grief, loss, anxiety, trauma (vicarious and moral injury), or depression. Introspection, self-reflection, and the exploration of difficult thoughts or feelings are not easy, but you don’t have to do it alone.  In our work together we can explore the roots of your stress, burn-out, interpersonal struggles, anxiety, or feelings of inadequacy. From the comfort of your home, you can discuss your fears, stressors, and hopes as I holistically guide you toward more psychological balance and well-being. You can live a more authentic, meaningful, and peaceful inner life.

I also provide clinical supervision to interns (I am a Yorkville approved supervisor), RPQs, RPs, and Independent Practitioners from all mental health professions (MACP, MEd, SW, MD, RN, OT etc). As an educator in psychology and psychotherapy for more than 20 years, a clinician since 2005, and a clinical supervisor since 2017, I strongly believe that the foundation of providing effective counselling for clients is based on a therapist’s ability to stay true to themselves and create strong therapeutic relationships. This is most often done while staying in the present moment (Stern) with clients. Accordingly, my supervision philosophy emphasizes the therapist’s ability to be with the client while at the same time being with themselves in the clinical setting. Linking theory to practice, while considering the clinician’s emotional reactions in the consulting room, are important to help the supervisee critically reflect on their SEUS (safe and effective use of self). I support therapists as as they journey to create or expand their professional identity.  I emphasize self-reflection, case conceptualization, and skill building but also focus on intentionality when considering specific modalities and/or techniques.

Navigating life’s unexpected twists and turns can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from ourselves. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or burnout, the challenge of being neurodivergent, or battling low self-esteem and feeling like being true to yourself is a constant battle, I’m here to offer a supportive hand. In our sessions, we’ll begin to uncover valuable insights and develop effective coping mechanisms. You’ll learn to set and honour your boundaries and build the confidence and resilience needed to face life’s challenges with strength.

My natural therapeutic inclination leans towards psychodynamic and humanistic approaches, particularly person-centred counselling modalities. Furthermore, as a professional musician, artist, and avid gardener, I am keenly interested in art, play, and nature-based therapy as future interests to explore. I have training and experience utilizing various modalities, such as CBT, DBT, IFS, Attachment-Based Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR. Beyond therapeutic modalities, I am committed to embracing and respecting your unique history and circumstances.

I approach sessions by focusing on the body’s wisdom and integrating mindfulness to foster a space filled with compassion and free from judgment. My commitment is to support your holistic healing, empowering you to cultivate courage, embrace self-love, and restore balance in your life.
