It is my honour to be a part of your journey

I have always had a love - hate relationship with the human mind. It can either be a wonderful place or absolute misery. At a young age, I made it my goal to help others have their mind be a peaceful place to be.

I have worked in the mental health space for over 9 years, and always knew I wanted to be a therapist as far back as elementary school. I have worked for non-profits dealing with personality disorders and addiction dependency, in elementary classroom settings, University settings as an academic advisor, and private practice. 

After struggling with my own journey around anxiety, depression, and disordered eating, my experiences made me more equipped to help others. I can understand how frustrating the journey to becoming and showing up as your ideal self can be when you feel like you've tried it all.

My role is to help you get to your ideal state of being. My personal journey, years of experience, education, and incredible clients are what ignite me in this line of work.

I take a holistic approach to treatment planning and utilize different therapeutic approaches best suited for each individual client, but I focus on CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic and IFS.

​

In sessions, I take a laid back approach and aim to provide a safe, non judgmental space where you can fully be yourself. I believe in using humour to heal, self compassion and I will challenge you when needed. 

​

To be able to be a part of, and witness people become their ideal selves is my ultimate honour as a therapist. I would be honoured to be a part of your journey and I look forward to getting to know you and witnessing your evolution!
