Imagine a space where your story is heard, your experiences validated, and your potential for growth nurtured. This is the environment I strive to create.

My journey into the world of therapy is fueled by a deep passion for human connection and healing. As a Sexual Assault Counsellor at the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Waterloo, I've had the privilege of witnessing the incredible resilience of the human spirit. This experience has taught me the transformative power of a safe, therapeutic space.

In our sessions together, you'll find a collaborative partner who recognizes you as the expert of your own life. I blend evidence-based approaches with trauma-informed care, primarily focusing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. But more than that, I create a brave space where judgment has no place and your authentic self can emerge.

There's something magical about hearing people's stories and truly seeing them for who they are. In my work, I've discovered a beautiful truth: beneath our unique experiences, we're all connected by common threads of humanity. This realization brings comfort and hope to our therapeutic journey.

I believe that the heart of successful therapy lies in the relationship we build together. Your comfort, safety, and trust are my top priorities. Expect warmth, humanity, and even moments of laughter as we work together. I'm not just here to offer tools and techniques; I'm here to walk beside you on your path to growth and change.

Whether you're navigating the complexities of parenting, seeking personal growth, or facing life's challenges, I'm here to support you. Together, we'll craft a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values. We'll build coping mechanisms, explore new perspectives, deepen your self-understanding, and find ways to navigate life's hurdles that feel authentic to you.

Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. It's an investment in yourself and your future. If you're ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery and healing, I'm here to support you every step of the way.


Let's start this journey together. Your path to well-being begins with a single step—reach out today, and let's explore the possibilities that lie ahead.
