About My Clients

I strive to meet clients on a human level, knowing that connection, where people feel accepted will establish the foundation for our work together. I consider it to be a great privilege to be the person you choose to share your story with and look forward to working together to support and challenge you to grow in new and meaningful ways.

My Background and Approach

Life can be quite challenging and I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help. I am happy you are here. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based. I believe in working collaboratively with clients to help them uncover their innate wellness and discover helpful ways to cope with the normal and extraordinary challenges of life. When you work with me, you can expect empathy, compassion, and a commitment to work through the therapy process at your own pace. I hope to provide you with guidance and support to help you settle more comfortably within the present moment and feel a greater sense of purpose in life. I enjoy working with individuals around anxiety, women’s issues, depression, self-esteem, and relationships. In my sessions, I like to draw from CBT, DBT, Narrative, and ACT. Furthermore, I like to incorporate techniques of mindfulness and the mind-body connection I have developed through my Yoga practice. (Certified Instructor).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I was born and raised in Ontario and have been working in the social services field since 2015. I am passionate about health and fitness. I have a Yoga instructor certification and love weight lifting. I also enjoy cooking, learning about other cultures, being in nature, and caring for animals. I am an avid learner and appreciate staying up to date on new research and making lots of time for continuing education.
