  • My deep commitment to helping others is at the heart of my work as a psychotherapist. I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and transformation, and I’m passionate about being a part of that journey. 

    I am guided by the principles of empathy, trust, and transparency, which I consider essential for creating a safe and supportive environment. My commitment to social justice further shapes my practice, ensuring that the therapeutic space I provide is inclusive, compassionate, and affirming for all. 

    I specialize in working with teens, adults, and couples, drawing from a range of therapeutic approaches, including person-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). This integrative approach allows for me to tailor my practice to the unique needs of each individual and couple. 

    I’m honoured to support you as we navigate challenges and celebrate milestones on your path to healing and mental well-being.
