About My Clients

Are you experiencing overwhelm, anxiety, burnout, panic? Do you put everyone else's needs above your own and go through times of self-doubt but, deep down, your gut's telling you that you deserve better - to feel supported, understood, appreciated, and confident? Whether it’s a rough chapter in your life, a relationship that’s turned toxic, or you find yourself to be an out of the box thinker stuck in a confining world…I’m here for you.

My Background and Approach

Together, we will sort out your thoughts, feelings, and work to prioritize what matters most in your life. I take time to listen carefully, validate your feelings, and provide tools and strategies to help you get back to your ideal life and relationships. I use Feedback Informed Treatment to track if therapy is helping you and to understand how you’re feeling about each session we have. This allows me to adapt to your needs and work hard to ensure I’m helping you reach your goals. I tailor therapy to you, and utilize a combination of various approaches as a result. I firmly believe that you have everything you need to heal and grow. While at times the world around you can seem so limiting, it doesn’t have to be this way. Your confidence, worth, and connection to others is possible!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I firmly believe that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow, even amid the toughest challenges. You are not defined by what has happened to you, but rather all the ways you've aspired to resist the problems that have come your way. Therapy is the context for courage in action, where people come to prevail against the problems and redefine their sense of self. I’ve always believed in the power of human connection, from volunteering with crisis hotlines, giving hair cuts at soup kitchens, collecting and restoring bicycles for kids at inner city schools, to coaching my kids' soccer teams. There is something sacred to human connection and what happens when we believe in each other. While I’m not here to share my faith, it does inform how I see people, as worthy and valued beyond words without qualification. Lastly, I believe that The National is the greatest band ever, and that if you are a Leafs fan your secret is safe with me.
