About Me

I am a Registered Social Worker with extensive experience supporting adult individuals and couples. My approach is rooted in collaboration and a commitment to providing a safe, welcoming space. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), to help clients achieve desired change. I also bring a unique perspective as an Ontario Certified Teacher, enhancing my understanding of challenges in educational and workplace settings. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” but about exploring, understanding, and creating space for transformation. Whether we are working on deep-rooted patterns, past trauma, or present-day stressors, I tailor each session to your unique needs. My passion for social justice shows up in the therapy room with us. I engage in anti-oppressive practice and believe that deconstructing issues related to race, class, gender, ability, and sexual orientation can be a powerful component of the therapeutic process.
