I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I support my clients with a variety of issues and goals, and I have specialized training to work with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, relational issues, complex trauma, mood disorders, personality disorders, ADHD, OCD and PTSD.
​
You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, isolated, or as though you are spiraling downward. You may feel disconnected from the important people in your life. Or perhaps you have a deep wish to live more optimally from the inside out.
I can offer a warm and non-judgmental space where we can explore these issues together, and you can begin feeling safe from within.
I draw from a variety of styles, meeting you where you are at with empathy and ideas. I often incorporate things like nutrition, sleep, neuroscience, and nature resources so you can improve how you feel within yourself and in the world around you.
​
I am committed to bringing the most current, evidence-based approaches into the work we do. I therefore dedicate much of my time to ongoing trainings and certifications that respond to the needs of the clients I work with and care about.
​
I completed my graduate studies at Yorkville University and my undergraduate studies at McMaster University. My clinical practicum was completed in a trauma-focussed setting that supports disadvantaged adults and teens struggling with relational injuries, personality disorders, brain injuries and complex trauma.
​
Welcome! I look forward to working with you.
