I am a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) offering counseling for individuals, couples, and families. My practice focuses on helping clients build resilience, improve relationships, and achieve lasting personal growth in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
I am certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples and the Gottman Method, with additional expertise and certifications in neurodivergence, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care. I bring a compassionate, evidence-based approach to my work, supporting clients with diverse needs and experiences.
Areas of Focus
Premarital & Marital Counseling – Strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, and creating a solid foundation for long-term partnership.
Couples Therapy – Supporting partners in managing conflict, deepening intimacy, and navigating relationship challenges with compassion.
Work Stress & Anxiety – Helping professionals manage workplace stress, burnout, and anxiety while achieving work-life balance.
Student Counseling – Supporting students with academic pressure, ADHD, anxiety, and major life transitions.
Parent Support – Guiding parents through family stress, strengthening parenting strategies, and supporting neurodivergent children.
Neurodivergence Therapy – Providing affirming care for Autism, ADHD, and other neurodiverse experiences, with practical tools for emotional regulation and success.
My therapeutic approach integrates CBT, DBT, EFT, and the Gottman Method, practiced through a trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and culturally responsive lens to ensure care is inclusive and effective.
In addition to therapy, I also provide clinical supervision for therapists-in-training, with a focus on reflective, ethical, and competency-based development.
Whether you are seeking individual therapy for work stress, premarital or marital counseling, couples therapy, student support, parent guidance, or neurodivergence-focused care, I am here to help you reduce stress, strengthen relationships, and thrive with confidence.
