With a solid educational foundation, including an Honours Bachelor of Arts (HBA) from the University of Toronto, a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from Dalhousie University, and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Windsor, along with years of hands-on experience, I bring an integrated approach to therapy that combines academic knowledge with practical application.

I utilize evidence-based techniques in an eclectic way, tailoring sessions to each client’s unique needs. This includes modalities such as Mindfulness-Based Skills, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed practices, tailoring them to meet the needs of each individual. By incorporating mindfulness and compassion and acceptance-based practices, I help clients learn to face and accept the difficult thoughts and feelings that may be holding them back.

As a neurodivergent therapist, I truly believe that everyone has the natural ability to grow into their best selves, no matter where they are on their life journey. My approach is all about humanistic and existential principles, focusing on personal growth, freedom, responsibility, and the quest for meaning and belonging.

Life can throw us some curveballs—questions about purpose, meaning, freedom, responsibility, and identity. These uncertainties can make you feel stuck, lost, or disconnected from who you really are. My job is to help you navigate these challenges; whether you’re dealing with an identity crisis, learning more about your neurodivergence, coping with a late diagnosis, or trying to balance your personal and professional life, I offer a warm and supportive space where you can face and work through these issues. 

Therapy can help us find purpose and meaning. It can also be the foundation for reclaiming our sense of self, living authentically, and embracing the growth opportunities that come with every struggle.

I understand that everyone’s journey is special, and my aim is to create a warm and caring space where you feel truly listened to, understood, and supported, without any judgment or pressure. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the challenging experiences that come with being Neurodivergent, like anxiety, being stuck in negative patterns, having trouble with relationships, or feeling the sting of rejection, I’m here to help you tap into the strengths you already have.

Life’s ups and downs and personal traits can sometimes hide our natural resilience. Still, by recognizing and building on your personal strengths, like creativity, we can create tools that help you handle mental and emotional challenges more effectively.

Many of my neurodivergent clients come to therapy to work through feelings of inadequacy, confusion, or a lack of direction. I work with my clients to create personalized strategies that help them regain control of their lives, gain clarity and understanding, and build more satisfying relationships.

As a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming therapist, I truly get how our minds, bodies, and emotions are all connected. When you've faced invalidation of sensory experiences or other experiences unique to neurodivergent people, the feelings might appear as constant negative thoughts, emotional or mental overload, loneliness, or a sense of being different, making it challenging to live the life you want. Whether you've been misdiagnosed, recently discovered you might be neurodivergent, or have known for a while, I'm here to support you with kindness, understanding, and care.

I aim to create a warm, validating space where you can start to heal, get to know yourself better, and develop tools to handle life's challenges more effectively.

My approach is about helping you feel accepted and understood and learn to face life with more understanding, self-advocacy, and self-compassion.
