Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you!

 

If you're here, it's likely because you're interested in learning more about me. A few things about myself: I'm always eager to help in any way as my passion lies in supporting others. I find joy in witnessing individuals become their best selves, learn from past challenges, and discover new meaning in their lives. As a flexible and eclectic therapist, I encourage you to take the lead, while I provide support, positivity, and occasional humour, and I'm also willing to challenge you when necessary.

 

I have a strong focus on working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), body-focused repetitive behaviours (BFRP), trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, sleep issues, grief, and intergenerational trauma to name a few. Additionally, I have a particular interest in supporting the BIPOC community, drawing from my own experiences as a visible minority. I also enjoy working with post-secondary students, as I understand the difficulties that come with these formative years. The transition out of post-secondary can be challenging, and I can provide guidance and space to help you navigate this stage of your life.

 

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, client-centred, and rooted in biopsychosocial evidence. I am trauma-informed and culturally aware, and I’m open to learning about your unique culture to tailor our work together. I draw from various modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment Theory, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, exposure therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), as I believe each method offers valuable insights.

 

I hold Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Ottawa and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).
