Registered Psychotherapist

English

Welcome. If you’re here, something in your life has been heavy for far too long. You may be carrying the weight of painful experiences, moments that still feel close no matter how much time has passed. In our work together, there’s space to slow down, understand what you’ve been through, and move toward relief at a pace that feels right for you. I bring curiosity, respect, and steadiness, so you don’t have to navigate this alone.

Background

You don’t have to go through hard times alone. For the past 10 years, I’ve walked alongside people facing life’s most challenging and transformative moments—helping them find clarity, healing, and hope. My experience spans inpatient psychiatric care, facilitating support groups for suicide loss survivors, and guiding teens and young adults through crisis. I’m a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, trained in EMDR and CBT for anxiety disorders, and I use evidence-based tools in a warm, compassionate way. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, my goal is to create a safe space where you can explore your story, build resilience, and reconnect with your sense of self.

Your therapeutic experience with me

Therapy with me is a space to exhale—a place where you can lay down what you’ve been carrying and know you are met with warmth, care, and understanding. I work collaboratively, honoring your pace and your story, while drawing from a range of approaches to support your unique needs. My style is gentle yet intentional, creating room for both deep exploration and steady progress. Here, you are seen, valued, and supported as you move toward healing, growth, and a stronger connection to yourself.

Therapeutic approaches

These are the approaches at the heart of my work, and I use them often because they help create meaningful change:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can help the brain and body process painful or traumatic memories—reducing distress from PTSD, abuse, loss, or other overwhelming experiences.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a compassionate way to connect with and heal the different “parts” of yourself that may hold pain, shame, or fear, helping you feel more whole.

Trauma-informed Therapy

Trauma-Informed Therapy creates a safe, respectful space that understands how past experiences can shape your thoughts, emotions, and relationships today.

Narrative Therapy

Narrative Therapy invites you to step back and see your life’s story from a new perspective—separating yourself from problems and reclaiming your voice.

I also draw on other evidence based approaches that can gently support you when they align with what you need:

Integrative

Person-centered Approach

Strength-based Approach

Compassion Focused Approach

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Focused populations and cultural backgrounds

These are the communities and cultural backgrounds I focus on, and I bring a sincere commitment to supporting you in a way that feels respectful and genuine:

FAQ

How do I pay for my sessions?

Upon booking your first session, you will complete a client intake form which stores your credit card information. After your session, the stored card will be automatically charged, and an insurance receipt will be sent to your email. I offer a 20-minute FREE consultation video call to see about fit.

Are my sessions covered by my insurance?

If you have extended coverage (benefits) for Registered Psychotherapy, your sessions should be covered!

What can I expect in our first session?

Our first session is about getting to know each other. I’ll ask some questions to better understand what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’re hoping for. There’s no pressure to dive too deep right away—we’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Do I need to have everything figured out?

Not at all. Many people come to therapy feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or stuck. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear goal—we’ll figure things out together.

How long does therapy take?

It really depends on your goals and what you’re working through. Some people come for a few months, others stay longer. We’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy continues to feel useful and aligned with your needs.

How long are the sessions?

All sessions are 50-minutes.
