If you are struggling with anxiety, grief, depression, burnout, trauma, relationship issues, or other emotional concerns, I’m a licensed Psychologist with ten years of experience providing compassionate and collaborative therapy to adults and adolescents (13 and up). I assist clients to better understand their emotions, patterns of coping and communication, and help them find lasting solutions.

I work with individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds, striving to understand each person within their surrounding sociocultural context. My theoretical background is integrative, drawing from emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioral, feminist, narrative, humanistic and mindfulness-based approaches.

I’m also an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Certified Therapist and a level 1 trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner. Above all, I am constantly inspired by the individuals with whom I work and believe strongly in the importance of the therapeutic relationship as it relates to the healing process.

I hold an Honours degree (B.Sc.) in Psychology from Saint Mary’s University and a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Counselling Psychology from McGill University. My past helping experience has spanned private clinics, university and high school settings, residential treatment centers, and non-profit organizations. I offer individual therapy in-person and virtually, with varied daytime and weekend (Sunday) hours.
