I am inspired by an eclectic approach to therapy, which means that we will work together to find ways of change that work for you as an individual and will adapt approaches to fit your needs. My hope is that through our work together, you will re-discover self love, self-compassion and strength so that you can retake control of your life. My work is through a trauma-informed, client-centered and strengths-based lens, which allows me to meet you where you are in your journey and approach the therapeutic relationship with a supportive and non-judgemental stance. I look forward to walking alongside you in your journey to healing.

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced relational trauma or traumatic incidents. I approach therapy with a trauma-focused and non-pathologizing perspective. My practice is influenced mainly by integrative somatic therapy, person-centered therapy, and internal family systems therapy. The foundation of my work is the belief that healing comes when you are able to connect your behaviours, your emotions, your experiences, your thoughts and your body. The primary focus of my practice is helping you figure out the “why” of your current experiences rather than trying to define the “what.” My priority in the therapeutic environment is to hold space where you feel safe, supported, accepted and respected.
Since 2014 I have worked at a forensic maximum secure mental health hospital providing Recreation Therapy. Through this work I developed a passion for listening to people’s stories and helping them heal through meaningful activities. In 2019 I enrolled in my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology Degree at Yorkville University to learn how to better support people in processing their traumatic experiences and working towards healing. I began my practicum in September 2022, and have been practicing psychotherapy since this time. I began my private practice in June of 2023, and graduated from Yorkville University in August of 2023.
An incredibly important component of my practice as a psychotherapist is continuing education. I am constantly reading books and taking trainings. This allows me to stay up to date on best practices, as well as furthers my knowledge and understanding of the various ways trauma can impact you.
