My Approach
I believe therapy is most meaningful when you feel heard, understood, and supported. My approach is collaborative and client-centred, creating space to explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
I work with children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds, offering support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, family and relationship challenges, and life transitions. I recognize that everyone's experiences and needs are different, and I tailor our work together to what matters most to you.
Alongside traditional talk therapy, I incorporate creative and experiential approaches, including music, art, and movement, when appropriate. These approaches can offer different ways to explore emotions, develop coping strategies, and support overall well-being by recognizing the connection between mind and body.
My Training & Experience
I hold a Master's in Clinical Counselling and am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). My professional experience includes working in residential treatment, rehabilitation, children and youth mental health services, hospital and community programs, and private practice. I've also taught in Georgian College's Addictions & Mental Health and Community Justice programs.
My training includes Theraplay, Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Systems, and Attachment Theory. I'm also a member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals.
I draw from these approaches to tailor therapy to each person's unique needs, strengths, and goals. Rather than taking a one size fits all approach, I work collaboratively with clients to find strategies that feel meaningful and practical for their lives.
