About Me.

A Little About Me

I’ve spent many years working in counselling, and one thing I’ve learned is that life rarely fits into neat little boxes. We can understand a lot about ourselves and still find ourselves repeating old patterns, feeling overwhelmed by emotions, or struggling to figure out why something feels so difficult. Sometimes, we just need a place to slow down, make sense of things, and find a different way forward.

My Background and Life Experience

I hold an Honours Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto, with a Specialist in Psychology and a Minor in Biology. I also completed my Psychotherapy Diploma in French at Université de Hearst in Northern Ontario. I’ve also completed extensive additional professional training, which continues to inform and enrich my approach to therapy.

My education and years of counselling experience have shaped my work, but so has life itself.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I’ve spent years creating artwork. I’m also a wife, a mother of three young adult children, a former family caregiver, and a small business owner. These experiences have given me an appreciation for just how complicated life can be, and how much we can carry while still trying to show up for the people around us.

Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate that life rarely follows a straight path or unfolds the way we expect. Sometimes, we need time and space to make sense of where we are and figure out what comes next.

How I Work

At heart, I’m a down-to-earth, humanistic therapist. I draw on established therapeutic approaches, including somatic approaches, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and strategies informed by Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I tailor our work to your needs, goals, and what feels genuinely helpful to you.

I’m particularly interested in exploring the patterns we get caught in, making sense of our emotions, and developing a deeper awareness of the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and bodies. Sometimes, this means learning practical tools to better manage anxiety or navigate difficult emotions. Other times, it means getting curious about what lies beneath the surface and learning to trust your own inner sense of what you need.

Taking the First Step

Based in the Greater Toronto Area, I offer virtual therapy to clients across Ontario and in select other parts of Canada, where permitted by applicable regulations. I bring my education and professional experience into our work, along with a genuine understanding of the challenges and complexities of everyday life.

You don’t need to find the right words, have a clear plan, or present a polished version of yourself. We can start wherever you are.

If you’re looking for a therapist who is genuine, thoughtful and practical, and who will meet you with curiosity rather than judgment, I welcome you to reach out.  Together, let’s explore what moving forward could look like for you.
