I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Guelph and my Master of Arts in Counselling from Yorkville University. I am excited to be joining the SOS team as a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying)!
I have a background in healthcare and dementia care, so I can recognize the importance of the connection between the mind and the body. Mental and physical health and wellness go hand-in-hand, and I believe in addressing client concerns following a holistic and person-centered approach.
As an eclectic therapist, I draw on many different therapeutic approaches to suit your unique and individualized needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectic Behaviour Therapy, and Somatic techniques. I believe that therapy should be a collaboration between the client and therapist, and I deeply value building a therapeutic relationship built on mutual trust. My goal is to meet you where you are and provide a safe and comfortable space for you to explore your concerns.
Outside of the session, I love spending time outdoors gardening or running. I am also a home-body and love to read, cook, paint, and play games with friends and family!
