Clinical Supervisor | Registered Marriage and Family Therapist | Registered Psychotherapist

With over a decade of experience as a Registered Psychotherapist, I have worked in various settings, including children’s mental health agencies, university settings, and private practice. Through these experiences, I’ve come to believe that at our core, we all seek stability, security, and clarity—within ourselves, our relationships, and the path ahead.

In therapy, I create a space that feels grounding and safe—one where conversations unfold differently than they do in everyday life. My skill lies in asking intentional questions that deepen self-awareness, strengthen confidence, and help you move toward your preferred way of being. Your skill is your deep knowledge of yourself, your life, and the strength you bring to your life and into each session—the courage to be vulnerable and the commitment to showing up for yourself.

I work integratively, drawing from attachment theory, narrative therapy, emotion-focused approaches, and dialogic perspectives. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where we check in regularly to ensure our work feels meaningful and aligned with your needs. I also bring warmth, humour, and thoughtful self-disclosure to create a space where we can both be authentic—while keeping your growth and healing at the center of every conversation.

 

Particular Areas of Focus:

Relationship Challenges, Life Transitions, Self-Worth, Self-Discovery and Self-Growth, Trauma, Navigating Breakups

Outside of my professional identity, I’m someone who values deep conversations, meaningful connections, with a good dose of humour and fun. I believe in the power of relationships—not just in therapy but in everyday life—and I’m always curious about people’s stories and having the privilege to get to know them.

I find joy in spending time with my loved ones, being outside, and capturing moments through photography. Whether it’s listening to an audiobook on a long walk, reflecting on personal growth, or deepening my connection to spirituality, I’m always drawn to experiences that bring a sense of presence and meaning. Movement is also important to me, and I enjoy staying active in ways that feel good —whether that’s a workout, a walk, or simply being in nature.
