My interest in counselling grew out of personal experiences that shaped how I understand people, relationships, and resilience. Growing up around addiction in my family often left me feeling confused and alone at times. Those experiences sparked a curiosity about why people struggle, how they cope, and what helps people truly heal. Over time, that curiosity turned into a passion for supporting others through their own challenges.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and a Master’s in Counselling Psychology student from Yorkville University who is completing her practicum to finalize her Masters education. She also has an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Ottawa.

I understand that starting therapy can feel uncomfortable or even intimidating. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and able to speak openly without judgment. I believe everyone has a story, and meaningful change begins when there is space to explore that story with honesty and compassion.

My therapeutic style is integrative, grounded, and mindful. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches and adjust my approach to fit each person’s needs and goals. I take a well-rounded approach towards therapy with the understanding that our mental health is connected to many areas of our lives, including relationships, stress, self-esteem, and life experiences.

Through our work together, we can explore what may be contributing to feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, relationship challenges, or the pressure to “hold it all together” while feeling overwhelmed inside. My role is to walk alongside you as we make sense of these experiences and work toward greater balance, understanding, and growth.

If you’re considering reaching out, I welcome you to connect for a consultation to see if working together feels like the right fit for you. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions.
