Welcome, thank you for being here and beginning this process. While emotional pain unfolds uniquely for every person, our inherent capacity for growth, authentic connection, and resilience remains constant. However, when life feels overwhelming and dark or when your relationship with yourself or your sense of resilience is challenged, having the right therapist to walk alongside you can be an essential part of the process, helping you slow down, heal, and remember that you are not alone.

I work collaboratively with a wide range of clients, taking a trauma-informed, culturally responsive and relational approach to psychotherapy that is rooted in safety, genuine connection, and empathy. I support adults, adolescents, children, and couples who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relational difficulties, attachment wounds, and identity. I also support clients living with grief, substance use, and trauma, and those navigating the unique experiences associated with neurodivergence.

In our initial sessions, we will explore your present-day struggles and work together to identify the core issues and goals you would like to address. I will also conduct a comprehensive science-based assessment of your difficulties—to help you gain an understanding of what might be at the root of your struggles with anxiety, depression or your relationship problems.

In individual psychotherapy sessions, based on your unique goals, we will take an integrative approach to address what matters most to you, drawing on various scientific and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. This may include drawing on contemporary psychodynamic and other attachment-based modalities to explore how past experiences and relationships have shaped your relationship with your feelings, thoughts, behaviour, and your relationships with yourself and others. We might further draw on emotion-focused therapy (EFT) and other experiential modalities to increase emotional awareness, deepen an understanding of maladaptive processes, and foster emotional change by addressing unmet needs, reducing self-criticism, and facilitating emotional re-experiencing. In turn, we might employ Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), polyvagal-informed, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) strategies to address cognitive and emotional distress.

In couples psychotherapy sessions, I support partners in addressing a wide range of relationship issues, including improving their capacity for emotional and physical intimacy, repairing ruptures in relational bonds, and strengthening communication and conflict-resolution strategies. I also support couples in dealing with challenging life circumstances and physical or mental health issues.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and am currently completing my graduate studies in Counselling Psychology at City University in Canada. I am completing my practicum at CFIR under the supervision of Dr. Dino Zuccarini.
