My Approach to Helping

My framework for therapy is grounded in the idea that healing begins with understanding oneself. I believe that true growth happens when we meet ourselves with kindness and curiosity, and I strive to create a space where you can do just that, without fear of judgment.

This framework is deeply rooted in my experience. In my work as a therapist, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with people during some of their most vulnerable moments. From my clients, I’ve learned that every struggle is connected to a deeper story—one shaped by vulnerability, fears, hopes, and an incredible capacity for resilience. I’ve seen firsthand how challenges can often feel overwhelming, but I’ve also witnessed the remarkable strength that emerges when we approach ourselves with compassion and curiosity.

In our work together, I will draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. I believe that therapy is most effective when we work collaboratively, so I’ll be there to explore different tools and strategies with you, always keeping your preferences and values at the centre of our work. Ultimately, my goal is to help you cultivate the self-awareness and resilience to face life’s challenges with confidence, compassion, and clarity.

More Info About My Practice

I completed my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I also hold an Honours BSc in Psychology from the University of Toronto.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I provided attentive and nonjudgemental support through my work as a crisis responder at the National Suicide Helpline (988), the Distress Centre Calgary local line, and Kids Help Phone.
I look forward to meeting you and supporting you.
