Seeking therapy is an act of strength, and I applaud your courage for being here.

I specialize in supporting individuals with: caregiver burden & emotional strain, mood disorders like depression and anxiety, as well as navigating through grief & loss, stress, burnout, and life transitions.

I have a Bachelor of Health Studies with specialized honours in Healthy policy from York University. I as well have a Bachelor and Master’s of Social Work from Waterloo University. I have always been deeply attuned to the health care needs of others and have desire to be a helper, meeting you where ever you are. I stay abreast of professional development and additional training.

My therapy approach is holistic, that is considering the whole person. I am deeply compassionate, value a sense of safety for others to feel seen.

I take a hands-on, collaborative approach and use an integrative approach, meaning that I will use a combination of therapeutic techniques. Together, we will explore therapeutic techniques tailored to your individual needs and goals, incorporating mindfulness to promote presence and self-awareness.

My style is warm, compassionate, engaging, and mindful. I am here to support you along every step of the therapy process.

My most used therapeutic interventions are:

• CBT
• Problem solving therapy
• Mindfulness-based CBT
• Solution focused therapy
• Caregiver Family Therapy
• Trauma-informed approach
• Interpersonal Therapy
• Compassion Focused Therapy
• Emotion Focus Therapy
