Mind Body & Therapy

I’m a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) and a professional member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I hold a Master’s degree in counselling psychology from Yorkville University and an Honours Bachelor degree specializing in Psychology and Criminology from Western University.
 

I have experience working and volunteering in a variety of mental health environments including private practice, community health organizations, and as a crisis responder with Kids Help Phone. From these roles, I've gained experience working with a wide range of concerns that people seek counselling for. Through my experience, I recognize the importance of empathy and support to help others.

​

Beginning or re-engaging in therapy can be tough for many people. As a therapist, I recognize the strength it takes to seek help. Each person is unique, and therefore I use therapeutic practices that are individually tailored to each client’s strengths and needs. As part of this, I use a culturally-sensitive and trauma-informed framework to foster respect for diversity and to incorporate each client’s desires and beliefs while providing space for their needs. I have a passion for being with my clients throughout their journey and working collaboratively to improve their well-being.
