Populations I Work With
I work with men and women 17 years and older from all cultures, faiths, sexual orientations, and genders. I have a lot of experience in working with post-secondary students, and thus understand many of the unique pressures and stresses that come with being a college or university student.

Hello. I’m happy you’re here. Allow me to share a little bit about myself so you can see if we'd be a good fit to work together.
I'm a graduate of Western University’s MA Counselling Psychology program, and I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.
Empathy and compassion will always be the foundation of how we work together. In other words, your comfort, pacing, and you feeling heard and understood will be a part of every session, and at the heart of each intervention we use. I strongly believe that therapy and healing must be client-centred and collaborative - so, you and I will work together to understand what you need, and how to do this in a way that speaks to what you value and desire for yourself and your life.
I've supported many people from diverse backgrounds and experiences, dealing with challenges that are both personal and clinical. I also help people struggling with relatively new issues, and those who have been feeling 'stuck' for quite a while.
Finally, because I believe that therapy and healing require a variety of approaches at different times throughout the work, I've trained in, and skillfully use, a number of effective treatment modalities. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Compassion Focused Trauma Processing, Parts Work, and Somatic Therapy.. I can offer more information about these when we meet. You are welcome to book a free consultation so I can tell you more and answer any questions you might have.
