Before anything else, the first thing I’d like you to know is that therapy with me isn’t about being “fixed”: It’s about getting genuinely curious, together, about what’s happening beneath the surface.
And you’ll also have a space where things don’t need to be polished or perfectly worded, where you can say the hard things that have been bottled-up for years.
With a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, a Bachelor of Science Honours in Psychology from Trent University, and 15 years of hands-on experience in mental health, developmental services and youth support, I bring a depth of knowledge that goes well beyond the textbook.
As a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO, License #18089), I also work as a holistic, integrative therapist, which means I don’t apply a one-size-fits-all method.
Instead, I draw from a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to build something tailored specifically to you, your goals, your history and your pace.
And I focus on working with individuals, couples, families, and children and teens to help help them navigate struggles with Anxiety, Depression, Relationships, Grief, Trauma, and more, either through online / virtual counselling or in-person sessions at my Bowmanville studio.
Therapy isn’t always about having the right words or knowing where to begin. Sometimes, it’s talking things through. Sometimes, it’s laughter in the middle of a difficult conversation. And sometimes, it’s having the space to sit with something you’ve been carrying for a long time.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and honest. We’ll get curious about the patterns that keep showing up, explore what might be underneath them, and work together to find ways forward that feel right for you. I’ll meet you with compassion, but I’ll also gently challenge you when it might help you see something differently.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start. You can come as you are, with whatever feels difficult, confusing, or unresolved. We’ll take the time to understand what’s happening and work toward a way of living and relating to yourself and others that feels more aligned with who you want to be.
If you’ve been thinking about starting counselling, you’re welcome to reach out. We can begin with a conversation and take it from there.
Children & teens often struggle to process feelings or challenges at school and home. Therapy gives them a space to feel heard without judgment.
