In my practice, my goal is to walk alongside you in times of discomfort and uncertainty so you don’t have to face them alone. My warm approach to the therapeutic process includes providing a space where you can discover, and sit with, your truest self in order to acknowledge and unpack some of the uncomfortable moments in your life. In this approach, we collaboratively explore and set goals for our time together, and work to create an environment where you can grow and flourish. I utilize a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and the Internal Family Systems Model to assist you in working towards the goals you have for yourself.
I have two Bachelor’s Degrees from the University of Waterloo in Social Development Studies and Social Work and am currently working toward my Master’s of Social Work degree at the University of Toronto. Over the past several years, I have had the privilege of supporting a diverse range of clients in various settings, assisting them in working through a multitude of challenges including varying mental health diagnoses, addiction, relational issues, and low self-esteem. I am honoured to be able to further my professional practice here at Beaches Therapy Group as a Social Work Intern. My services are offered at a reduced hourly rate and are supervised by a Registered Social Worker in the group practice.
Your decision to start therapy is a courageous one and I acknowledge the vulnerability it takes to open yourself up to be heard and seen by someone new. It is important that you feel connected to your clinician in order to do effective work. Let’s connect for your free initial consultation to get acquainted and talk more about what you’re looking to get out of psychotherapy, in order to ensure we would be a good therapeutic match. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist with a passion for helping others that began over 10 years ago, running Afterglow Yoga Studio in the Beaches, Toronto. As a business owner and instructor I have thrived on making connections with others and finding joy in witnessing growth and possibility.
After what feels like a lifetime of raising three children, and running a business I chose to return to school to train and become proficient in treating the many complexities of life such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stressful life events, parenting and relationship issues. I have worked with women and girls to help increase self-awareness and empower their own inner voices. In addition to my Master’s in Counselling Psychology, I have training and achieved certifications in healing trauma and addiction through EMDR, EFT, mindfulness based self-compassion, and somatic healing. Through my training, yoga practice, mindfulness education, and lived experience, I have cultivated a diverse skill set using various therapeutic modalities, including Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR and Somatic practices such as yoga, meditation and breath work.
First and foremost I believe in creating a safe, empathetic and non-judgmental environment where clients feel free to explore their thoughts and emotions. I aim to work collaboratively with clients to foster meaningful connections, empower personal growth, self-esteem and balanced mental health. I embrace each persons unique and diverse circumstances creating individual plans for goal setting, healing and success.
