People come to therapy for many reasons and at different life stages—whether navigating painful challenges, major life transitions, or seeking deeper self-understanding. I view personal growth as a lifelong process. Therapy offers a supportive, collaborative space to reflect on your experiences and clarify what you need most. Whatever brings you here, I welcome the opportunity to work together toward goals that matter to you.
Individual Therapy. In my work with adults, I support individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, grief, and emotional management difficulties. I also assist clients navigating significant life transitions, recovering from trauma, and exploring self-esteem, identity, or relationship patterns. Additionally, I work with neurodivergent adults (including ADHD and autism), honouring each person’s unique strengths and challenges. I warmly welcome clients of all cultural, racial, gender, and sexual identities, providing an inclusive, affirming space.
Couples Therapy. In couples therapy, I help partners resolve recurring conflict, improve communication, and rebuild emotional and physical intimacy. Whether repairing trust after betrayal, navigating differing expectations, or managing stressors like parenting, finances, role, and health changes, we explore how relationship dynamics contribute to distance. Together, we develop constructive ways of relating that foster lasting connection.
Therapeutic & Assessment Approach. My approach is integrative, person-centred, and trauma-informed. I draw on humanistic, narrative, and psychodynamic perspectives, along with attachment theory, to understand how earlier experiences and relationships shape present difficulties within your social context. I integrate evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness- and DBT-informed strategies tailored to your values. When appropriate, I incorporate clinical assessments and psychological measures to clarify contributing factors. Together, we establish shared treatment goals and continually adjust our approach throughout therapy.
When we first meet, I will invite you to describe your concerns and how they affect your life. We will consider what you have tried so far and what has been helpful. As we continue, some of our work may focus on reducing immediate distress, while other sessions may explore underlying patterns.
My clinical training and experience include practica across university clinics, hospital inpatient psychiatry, and community mental health programs, providing individual psychotherapy and assessments for ADHD, autism, and neurodevelopmental functioning. My previous work experience as a journalist further enriches my appreciation for personal stories, helping clients make sense of their experiences and discover new possibilities for change.
I am a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) student in Clinical Psychology at the University of Prince Edward Island, holding an M.A. in Psychology (University of Alberta) and a Bachelor of Journalism (University of King’s College). I am completing my clinical residency at the Centre for Interpersonal Relationships (CFIR) under the supervision of Dr. Joshua Peters, C.Psych., and Dr. Marc Bedard, C.Psych.
