Finding a therapist who resonates with your personality and therapeutic needs is crucial. It’s about connecting with someone whose approach aligns with your goals, making your journey toward healing and growth more effective and meaningful.

I am passionate about supporting individuals in their journey towards healing and growth. My focus areas include individual therapy, as well as marriage and relationships. I specialize in treating a variety of concerns such as addictions, ADHD, anxiety, depression, codependence, PTSD, burnout, overwhelm, grief and loss, mood issues, stress, and self-esteem challenges. Holding a dual honors major from Trent University in Biology and Psychology, I am pursuing my postgraduate Master’s Degree in Counseling at Yorkville University. My academic journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of human behavior and the complexities of mental health.

In my practice, I integrate and merge modalities such as Emotion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These approaches are grounded in evidence-based practices that empower clients and facilitate meaningful change.

Inspired by Buddhist principles, I believe in a holistic mind and body approach to healing. My goal is to create a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your inner world and work towards peace of mind. I see each individual as an expert in their own life, and I am here to collaborate with you in uncovering your strengths, processing experiences, and overcoming personal obstacles.

Throughout my journey, including previous volunteer work in mental health, I have witnessed the profound transformations that courage, inner strength, resilience, and vulnerability can bring. I am dedicated to fostering a therapeutic environment that is inclusive, supportive of self-discovery, and empowering of your inner resources.

When you’re seeking a therapist, finding the right fit is essential. I invite you to connect with me to explore how we can work together towards achieving your therapeutic goals. Together, we can navigate challenges, build resilience, and embark on a path towards healing and well-being.
