The people I work with often carry the weight of experiences that have shaped how they see themselves and the world. Many reach out after noticing that past events are still affecting their relationships, emotions, or sense of self — sometimes in ways that are hard to name. You might be hoping to feel safer in your body, clearer about your emotions, and more at ease in your life. Maybe you’ve noticed that something in your life, or within you, needs time and space to be understood or supported. If you’re unsure whether therapy is right for you, I offer free consultations to help you find a therapist who feels like a good fit.

I work with teens (13 and older), adults, and parents who are navigating a range of emotional and life challenges. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, or grief, or finding it hard to feel connected, steady, or confident. Many of the people I support have lived through trauma, loss, or early adversity, or are exploring identity, belonging, culture, or the effects of war and displacement. Drawing on my experience as a child and family therapist, I also work with parents and co-parents, supporting them in navigating family relationships, communication, and shared caregiving.

My approach is holistic and inclusive. I believe healing involves the body, mind, and spirit — whatever that means for you. Together, we’ll explore what feels meaningful and supportive at a pace that feels safe. My work draws from psychodynamic, attachment-based, somatic, emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioural, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches to support awareness, emotional regulation, and growth.

In therapy, we may look at how your experiences and relationships have shaped your sense of safety and self. We might explore different parts of you — the ones that carry pain, the ones that protect, and the ones that hope for change — and help them find more balance together. By slowing down and paying attention to the body’s signals, new patterns of calm, compassion, and confidence can begin to take root.

In our first sessions, we’ll take time to clarify your goals, strengths, and needs. My practice is flexible, drawing from different methods because there’s rarely one path that works for everyone. My foundation is in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which looks at how past experiences and relationships shape the present. I also use attachment-based, somatic, emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioural, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches to support understanding, stability, and personal growth.

I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy from the Ontario Psychotherapy and Counselling College and an Honours Bachelor of Arts from McMaster University. I’ve also trained in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) for Adolescents and Families, Dyadic Developmental Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Expressive Arts Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and trauma-focused programs for children, youth, and families, including the Embrave Enhanced Gender-Based Violence Protocol.

As a Registered Psychotherapist, I’ve worked in both private practice and community settings, supporting individuals and families. My experience includes working at the SickKids Centre for Community Mental Health, where I supported children, parents, and families as a Child and Family Therapist. In addition to providing therapy, I helped families navigate systems of care, access community mental health and psychiatry services, and coordinate school supports. I value collaboration and have worked closely within multidisciplinary teams to ensure families receive holistic, integrated care. I’ve also worked as a Teaching Assistant at the Ontario Psychotherapy and Counselling College, supporting students in their clinical training. Before becoming a therapist, I worked with children, youth, and families in community programs — helping them navigate systems, access resources, and reconnect with their sense of resilience, joy, and possibility.
