A virtual practice, working with anyone residing in Ontario. 

To me, therapy is a warm, comfortable space we build together; it’s an hour outside of your everyday life, a shared place we can process whatever needs to be processed from the safety of. Care, compassion, non-judgement and a genuine therapeutic relationship are the foundations of our work together and are my main priorities. My focus is always holistic: we have to look at every layer - from the cues your body and nervous system are giving you to the systemic messages surrounding you - to reach not just the bandaids but the deeper roots of distress and, ultimately, growth.

With a degree in Counselling and Spirituality, I am trained firstly as a client-centred therapist able to explore with you any general emotional and wellness goals you may need extra support for. I also specialize and have had training in: sex, intimacy, & relationship therapy; self esteem & self worth; intuitive food relationships & body positivity; grief, death, & loss; and spiritual/existential concerns. Decolonizing and deconstructing are core values of my work and training, examining how the systems we are in impact individual and collective wellbeing. I work from an actively affirming and anti-oppressive lens.

The most important commitment I have is to fostering unconditional self-acceptance and self-compassion; we learn too much conditional self-worth, pressure, and shame, when the root of finding true peace with ourselves is to believe we are enough now, just as we are. What would believing this change for you? I believe it is only from a place of acceptance that we can make meaningful change.

Being a client-centred therapist means I value your intuitive voice. I tune into your unique worldview, values, and sources of meaning as the basis of our work, and adapt around your needs creatively and collaboratively. I believe my role as a therapist is to help you access your own internal compass and its signals. Sometimes we just need to give ourselves the space and permission to listen inward!
