My approach is client-centred, which means I don’t have a “one size fits all” method of therapy. I have worked with people from all different walks of life. My goal is to provide you with a safe space to talk.

I’ve helped clients in many transitional times in life such as a divorce, loss of a friend or family member, workplace issues, or coping with health problems.

Since 2011 I have been working with individuals suffering from depressed mood, anxiety, grief, addictions, pain, trauma, and relationship issues. I have worked with couples and individuals in therapy.

I obtained my MSc in Clinical Psychology from Acadia University and a BA Hons in Psychology from the University of Guelph. I have been registered as a Psychotherapist in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario since 2015. As a Registered Psychotherapist, my services are regulated under the Psychotherapy Act 2007 and by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.

As of July 2025 I have entered my supervised practice period to become a Psychological Associate with the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario. When I finish this in January 2027, I will be able to provide assessment and diagnostic services in addition to psychotherapy.

In addition to my clinical work, I’ve worked on research in the areas of occupational health and safety and clinical program evaluation. Prior to becoming a clinician, I worked for four years in Human Resources. Each stage of my career has helped me to develop an extensive understanding of workplace and clinical issues.

Please feel free to reach out anytime for support!
