In today’s world, many individuals find themselves struggling with anxiety and depression. It could be triggered by life transitions, past traumas, or the complexities of modern living. No matter the cause, these challenges cast a dark shadow over every aspect of life. Anxiety might show up as constant worry, restlessness, or panic attacks while depression can engulf one in feelings of sadness, hopelessness or disconnect from everyone else. Left unaddressed, these conditions can erode self esteem, relationships and hinder personal and professional fulfillment. I provide support for those that might be navigating through these tumultuous times. I utilize a compassionate approach to help guide clients towards a path of healing and self- discovery. I draw from various evidence-based approaches such Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop coping strategies and reclaim a sense of agency over their lives. Throughout this therapeutic process, clients learn to identify and reframe their thought patterns, discover newfound clarity and self- awareness. They learn to navigate life challenges with greater resilience and self- compassion which aids in living a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and a Yorkville University graduate with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. I also hold a Bachelor of Applied Science degree from University of Guelph. In the last few years, I have transitioned from working with neurodevelopmental disorders to working with diverse therapy clients facing burnout, mood disorders, and other mental health challenges. Working with such wide range of individuals has allowed me to understand the intricacies of different conditions and ways psychological knowledge could be used to provide support to individuals.
