Are you navigating the complexities of life, seeking balance amidst challenges, or aspiring for personal growth and understanding? Stress, anxiety, trauma, and low mood can sometimes leave us feeling lost, stuck, or disconnected from ourselves. I am passionate about fostering positive change and empowering individuals to navigate through life’s challenges with resilience and confidence.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I am committed to working alongside you, offering guidance to help you identify and meet your personal goals as you are the expert in your own experiences. Through our collaborative efforts, my focus is on building the therapeutic relationship, exploring your life experiences, needs, strengths, and available resources to build effective coping strategies and gain greater self-understanding and compassion. I approach therapy with a client-centered perspective, I value your intuitive voice and unique worldview as I aim to support you in uncovering your true potential.
During our time together, I plan to use strength-based approaches and a trauma-informed lens. I might include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, as well as EMDR therapy. It is my belief that you have the capacity to feel whole and fulfilled, and I am dedicated to helping you realize this potential.
You deserve a safe space where you can share what’s on your mind and work toward the changes you’re looking for. I look forward to connecting with you!

Life’s challenges, losses, and disappointments can be overwhelming, and it’s natural to feel stressed, low, irritable, or unlike yourself at times. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, or everyday stress, therapy can be a space to reflect, heal, and regain your sense of self. I bring both professional and personal experience to my work with grief. Having walked through my own losses, I offer a compassionate, heartfelt approach that honours the uniqueness of each person’s journey. In our time together, we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. We’ll explore patterns, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you feel more connected and empowered in your daily life.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and psychotherapist-in-training, my goal is to provide you with skills and resources to improve your quality of life. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices including CBT and EMDR. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, gain insight, and build meaningful change. Together, we’ll work to strengthen coping strategies, and foster resilience. Your story matters — and so does your healing.
Coming from a corporate background, I also understand the pressures, fast pace, and high demands that often come with that environment. It continues to inform my developing approach, helping me bring a grounded, empathetic, and practical perspective to my work.
Finding the right therapist is a crucial step toward healing. If you’re curious about how we might work together, I invite you to reach out for a consultation. Let’s discuss your unique needs and how I can support you on your journey to well-being.

Life can feel like a constant balancing act—between work, relationships, family, and all the invisible tasks that fill our days. In the midst of this, it’s easy to lose touch with yourself and the deeper sense of meaning you long for. Therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), completing my practicum through Yorkville University. While I am new in my role as a psychotherapist, I bring over a decade of experience in coaching and somatic work, helping people navigate trauma, stress, and life transitions. This background grounds my therapeutic approach in both professional training and lived practice.
In our work together, we’ll focus not only on your thoughts and emotions but also on how experiences live in the body. Somatic therapy is a gentle, body-based approach that helps regulate the nervous system, release stress patterns, and foster resilience. This can be especially supportive when words alone don’t capture the depth of what you’re going through.
I work with individuals who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, burnout, grief, relationship and attachment concerns, and the transitions of new motherhood. My style is collaborative, steady, and compassionate. I believe healing is less about fixing and more about uncovering the resilience and wisdom you already carry. Together, we’ll explore patterns, practice new tools, and create space for growth at a pace that feels right for you.
If you’re curious about whether we might be a good fit, I’d be glad to connect for an initial consultation.

Do you feel stuck in patterns that leave you feeling disconnected, uncertain, or overwhelmed? Maybe self-doubt holds you back in relationships, anxiety keeps you second-guessing your choices, or life transitions have left you feeling lost. It can be exhausting to carry these struggles alone—but you don’t have to.
As a Psychotherapist-in-training, I provide a space where you can gain clarity, rebuild confidence, and develop the skills to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease. Together, we will explore what’s beneath your struggles, whether it’s anxiety, low self-esteem, or past experiences that still affect you, so you can break free from unhelpful patterns and build more fulfilling relationships, both with yourself and others.
Our work will be grounded in practical strategies and meaningful insight, with a focus on helping you navigate your emotions, strengthen boundaries, and move toward the life you want to live. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care, I tailor our sessions to meet your individual needs. I’m trained in written exposure therapy, EMDR-informed techniques, and somatic practices that support nervous system regulation and trauma processing—approaches that can help you feel safer in your body, make sense of difficult experiences, and build lasting emotional resilience.
If you’re ready to break free from what’s holding you back and start building the confidence, clarity, and fulfillment you deserve, reach out for a free 15-minute consultation—let’s talk about how I can support you on this journey.

Life events, traumas, big and small, can really throw you off course and leave a lasting impact. They may affect you at many levels including mentally, emotionally, and physically. These experiences can taint how you perceive yourself and others, negatively impact your relationships and your work, and it can be hard to break away from their hold on you. You might come to realize that you are not living your best life and wish you could feel like yourself again. It would be great to feel resilient and be able to live life more intentionally. And this is exactly what I hope to help you with.
My areas of focus as a bilingual Registered Psychotherapist for 15 years include anxiety, depression, challenging life transitions, grief, post-concussion syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder and complex PTSD, sleep difficulties, relationship issues, and stress management. Since 2007, I have been specializing in treating various forms of trauma, both recent and past, with a broad spectrum of clients including BIPOC and LGTBQ2S+ clients. I believe traumas are a result of events, big or small, that can leave lasting emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual impacts. We often hear of the ‘big’ traumas, but every day events such as bullying, childhood neglect, rejection, injuries, or a medical diagnosis can all have a traumatic effect on a person.
I am a psychodynamic, client-centred therapist. I integrate complementary methodologies to offer a personalized approach tailored to each person. I often include EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic and parts work, and CBT therapies to my intervention. With compassion and understanding, I aim to create an inclusive space and work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and address personal life challenges.

Do you often find yourself feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, struggling to manage persistent worries that disrupt your daily life and affect your relationships? Maybe you are dealing with obsessive thoughts that lead to feelings of isolation and self-doubt? As a bilingual (EN/FR) Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), my mission is to create a compassionate and welcoming environment where you can explore these emotional challenges. Together, we can work on gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences, alleviating your distress, and building new skills and coping strategies.
In our sessions, we will focus on rediscovering joy and motivation, while also equipping you with practical tools and skills that will enable you to thrive independently. I recognize that every individual’s journey is unique, and being part of the BIPOC community, I have a deep appreciation for the diverse backgrounds and life experiences that shape our perspectives.
Employing a client-centered approach, I will ensure that your unique worldview is considered throughout our work together. In therapy, I include skills-based therapeutic methods, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These integrative approaches allow us to customize our sessions to address your specific needs and goals, whether you are facing anxiety, OCD, depression, or challenges with emotional regulation. I also offer more specialized approaches such as EMDR and ERP.
I look forward to supporting you on this journey toward greater self-understanding and well-being. Contact me today for a free consultation to see how we can work together!
