About Me : I am a registered psychotherapist based on the North Shore. I offer psychotherapy for individuals seeking support with grief, trauma, stress, relationships, self-esteem, anger, anxiety, depression, critical overthinking, communication, decision-making, and women’s health. Sessions are available in person or online.

My Approach : Psychotherapy with me is a space where you can take a breath, feel heard, and explore what truly matters to you. It’s more than just talking - it’s about making sense of your experiences, understanding patterns that may be holding you back, and finding new ways to move forward.

Therapy is a collaborative process. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply wanting to deepen your self-awareness, I’m here to support you at your pace. My style is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental, offering both gentle reflection and meaningful challenges to help you grow.

My clinical experience includes working in community mental health services and with Respect, where I support individuals affected by family harm and intimate partner violence. I have an extensive background in education, having worked for many years with children, families, and individuals with diverse needs. I have a strong appreciation for creativity and the visual arts, which inform my understanding of human development, expression, and resilience. These experiences allow me to bring a holistic and culturally responsive approach to therapy, honouring the unique journey of each person I work with.

If you’re considering therapy, I welcome you to reach out. Our first session is an opportunity to get a sense of whether we’re the right fit and to explore what you hope to gain from therapy.
