Life can sometimes feel difficult and overwhelming, and prevent us from living the way we would like. I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental, safe space dedicated to helping you explore and overcome your challenges. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and always catered to the needs and interests of the client. After getting a PhD in Biology and spending 15 years in the corporate world, I decided to change careers and follow my passion for helping others. I've learned that healing is possible with the right approach in a supportive environment.
While I'm trained in many treatment models and remain adaptable to my client's needs, I primarily use ACT, CBT, EMDR and Person-centred Therapy. I am also a trained mental health crisis responder. I focus on a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, 2SLGBTQ+ issues, men's issues, grief, trauma, and interpersonal relationships.
I truly believe with the right support, you can find solutions to your problems and build a more fulfilling life. I would be honoured if we could work together towards your goals. I am available for virtual therapy with anyone in Ontario or in person in Markham. If you would like to work with me, please call or email to set up a free consultation.

I generally start with taking a mindful and self-compassionate approach, and then work with clients to collaboratively determine goals and treatment plans. While we'll generally use one main approach, we'll bring in elements of other approaches as needed. It's about what the client needs and feels most comfortable with.

Therapy type is based on the unique needs of each individual. I often introduce mindfulness to help promote emotional regulation and self-compassion. I then usually use CBT or ACT early on before we align on the best approach together. All approaches are person-centered and strengths based, encouraging the client to recognize and build upon their unique strengths and abilities to promote healing.
