I have 17 years of experience as a Registered Social Worker offering clinical services to children, youth, adults and their families. I have developed my skills working in schools, residential and secure treatment facilities, youth justice, and community counselling programs. I have a particular passion serving families with children who are experiencing social, emotional and behavioural or legal challenges. My services include, individual behavioural and family counselling as well as parent coaching. In private practice, I have worked with a wide range of adults who are experiencing difficulties with their mood, emotional regulation and managing their anger. I have also developed a keen interest in parental and post-partum support. In sessions, in addition to talk therapy, I provide clients practical tools and strategies that can support the process of change.

I practice from a non-judgmental, anti-oppressive based framework, using client centered therapy; meaning one size does not fit all. I am flexible and work collaboratively to meet each clients unique needs, so that they know that they are heard. I offer services drawing on methods of CBT, DBT, Mindfulness and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

I offer virtual sessions across Ontario.

I have twenty years of therapeutic experience working with individuals, families, adolescents and couples. My style is warm and informal and I provide my clients with realistic tools that inspire growth and change. I believe that all therapy should be rooted in a client-therapist relationship that is characterized by warmth, acceptance and trust.

My approach is informed by the following modalities; Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples and Individuals.

I also have advanced training through Postpartum Support International and I was inspired to specialize in maternal mental health after my own postpartum struggles. I found that support and awareness were lacking for women from pre-conception to postpartum and I became passionate about normalizing the changes and challenges that come with the transition into parenthood.

I am highly influenced by attachment science and I obtain inspiration from the healing powers of connection and emotional security. I am committed to staying current on research and evidence-based treatments and I engage in ongoing psychotherapy training.

I believe that psychotherapy is an art that involves the “meeting of two minds”. I am passionate about helping my clients heal and grow and I am honoured to witness the shifts that occur within themselves and ultimately, their lives.

My clients describe me as warm and easy to open up to. You can expect a non-judgmental space where we work at a pace that you feel ready for because therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating.

Together we will work to achieve the changes you want for yourself, identify the root of the problems or symptoms you are facing, and you’ll learn more about yourself through the process.

I am grateful to have over 7 years of experience working with adults to process and overcome the far-reaching impacts of trauma on the mind and body. I am a Registered Psychotherapist that worked with those who experienced trauma from historical childhood abuse, unhealthy relationships, sexual abuse and sexual assault. Trauma can show up in many ways in the mind and body including anxiety, depression, nightmares, difficulty trusting others, among many other common symptoms. I use a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches that are trauma focused to support you in processing your experiences and reaching your goals for therapy, whether you are looking for support as an individual or as a couple. I am Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) trained, and I draw from various other approaches including Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Somatic Experiencing and Emotion Focused Therapy. In my work with couples I draw upon trauma-informed modalities as well as Gottman Method and Emotionally Focussed Therapy for couples.

Through such evidence-based therapeutic approaches I’ve observed significant shifts with people I’ve worked with. I have witnessed them become more empowered, self-compassionate, and calmer with a newly gained sense of peace when thinking of their past traumatic experiences.

If you’re interested in working together, want more information or have a question, please contact me.
