My journey as a therapist started at 17. I experienced my fair share of adversity by this age and stumbled upon a high school placement at St. Leonard’s Addiction and Mental Health. I gained invaluable experience working with children who were pained with their caregivers substance addiction and adults who accessed the harm reduction program. These services resonated deeply with me due to my own past with addiction; however, I never had the emotional support that these children were getting until much later in life. It was in that placement that I developed the strong determination to be the professional support to others that I never had the privilege of having as a child and teenager.

I then went on to college for my Social Service Worker, and progressed to my Bachelors of Social Worker and Master of Social Work. I now have 8 years of experience working in the mental health field. The highlight of my experience includes working in non for profit at lead Children Mental Health Agencies, working in Nunatsiavut with the Inuit and Mississauga’s of the Credit First Nation with the Anishinaabe, and 3 years in private practice specializing in processing trauma with children, youth and adults.

I’ve worked alongside wonderful individuals and families through my career and highly value the healing connection that leads to their growth and happiness. Therefore, the therapeutic connection and relationship is a pillar in the work I do. I feel that my compassion and insight combined with my playful and authentic attitude will best help guide you through life’s ups and downs.

My passion for psychology and mental health was born from personal experiences with adversity during childhood. After undergoing counseling myself, I recognized the profound impact that therapy can have on one’s life, which inspired me to help others who have faced similar challenges. With a background in counseling psychology, I’ve had the privilege of working hands-on with a diverse range of individuals, particularly youth, navigating a variety of life’s struggles. My approach is rooted in creating a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe to explore their concerns, work through difficulties, and find meaningful solutions that support their well-being.

I am a Registered Social Worker and a member in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. With a Master’s in Social Work and a Graduate Certificate in Concurrent Disorders, my passion for helping others has been nurtured by practice experience in the community mental health, addictions, and post-secondary sectors.

I use an eclectic mix of evidence-based modalities coupled with strengths-based and collaborative approaches to support clients, believing that no one knows your life experience better than you. I center my practice on the belief that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for growth and change, often using compassion and humour, in addition to therapeutic tools, to make you feel comfortable and build trust between us.

Using trauma-informed and ecological systems frameworks, together we can explore how our environments, current and historical, shape the stories we tell ourselves, who we are, and how we navigate through the world. I strive to provide a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space where we can develop new and adaptive coping strategies, build a deeper connection to our authentic selves, and navigate life’s challenges together to create meaningful change.
