Meet our team

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), as well as a member in good standing with the Ontario Association for Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP). I hold a Bachelor's degree with honours in Psychology from the University of Guelph, as well as a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Yorkville University. I have over seven years of experience in various mental health fields, primarily working with adults with comorbid mental health concerns as well as individuals of marginalized, vulnerable populations. I especially love working with Couple's- regardless of your relationship dynamic! 

 “Ego has killed more relationships than infidelity. It has killed more business relationships than shady deals and swindlers. Until people can learn to love something more than their own ideas and images, success will always avoid them. Humility is not thinking less of yourself. It is thinking of yourself less.” 

— Joseph Cook

From a very young age, I knew I wanted to help others and advocate for the importance of addressing and treating mental health, just as we do our physical health. A quote which has resonated with me throughout my childhood, studies and careers is "be who you needed when you were younger" — this quote helps serve as an important reminder and guide through my therapeutic relationships.

I work from a very client-centered, biopsychosocial approach and incorporate a variety of therapeutic modalities to best meet and support the needs and goals of each individual client. We are all such unique, complex people; and so, I firmly believe there is no "one size fits all" approach to therapy. In my experience, it is more effective to collaboratively establish a treatment plan which best resonates with you. My personal lived experiences help me to truly empathize and hold space for clients- meeting you where you are at.

Some of the evidence-based therapeutic modalities and trainings I pull from include: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Trauma Informed Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy(SFBT), Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Motivational Interviewing (MI),Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), & Certified Family Trauma Professional Training (CFTP).
