M.A., Registered Psychotherapist
Hi, I'm a psychotherapist registered with the CRPO with almost a decade of experience working with anxiety, depression, complex trauma, grief, chronic illness management, difficult life transitions, and more.
If you are navigating the heavy weight of a life-altering illness, carrying the invisible wounds of trauma, or moving through a profound loss, I hope you know this: you do not have to carry it all alone.
I don’t believe therapy is a one-size-fits-all. Your story is unique, and your care should be too. I ground my practice in a humanistic perspective, which means I view you as the ultimate expert on your own life. Together, we can find relief and understanding using a tailored blend of evidence-based tools.

Land Acknowledgement
We honour and acknowledge that this practice operates on the traditional, unceded territory of the Algonquin-Anishinaabeg Peoples. As a settler and mental health practitioner, it's important to recognize that true healing cannot be separated from the land or its history. Western psychological frameworks have historically ignored and contributed to many of the ongoing traumas of colonization. This practice is, and always will be, deeply committed to unlearning these biases, decolonizing therapeutic practices, and actively working in solidarity with Indigenous communities toward meaningful reconciliation.
