Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected? You're not alone - and you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy can be a powerful space to reconnect with yourself and your emotions and begin to heal. I offer warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed psychotherapy for adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, grief (including infertility), depression, creative blocks, relationship issues, trauma, or a general sense of unease.
My approach is relational, intuitive, and grounded in deep respect for your lived experience. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build insight, and support meaningful change at your pace.
If you are in crisis, please refer to the resources page for immediate help.
my approach
My approach is client-led, starting where you need to and only going as deeply as you want to go. I work to truly understand you and your experience, as well as the intersecting social contexts, such as race, gender, and sexuality (to name a few), of your life. I provide a non-judgmental, supportive, and at times playful atmosphere in which you can safely explore and be yourself. By offering a space to give voice to your thoughts and feelings, we will make connections between patterns past and present, allowing you to access and build inner resources and authenticity. I strive to work in an anti-oppressive, feminist, sex-positive, and LGBTQ2S-positive framework.
My practice is rooted in relational psychotherapy, emphasizing the importance of the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for healing. I integrate various modalities, including:
Relational and Attachment-Based Therapy
Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Approaches
Mindfulness and Somatic (Body-Based) Techniques
Parts Work
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
If you have any questions about my approach or the type of clients I work with, don’t hesitate to contact me.
about
Before starting on my path to becoming a psychotherapist, I studied Theatre at the University of Toronto and have worked for many years in non-profits in the arts, international development, and leadership development. I’ve also worked in the government and other bureaucratic institutions. Whatever the work environment, I have always endeavoured to make deep connections and be a listening ear to those around me, as well as bring laughter to many situations. In my spare time, I read tarot cards, a practice that has helped me hone my intuition and get to know myself better.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I studied at the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy, a graduate-level psychotherapy training program accredited by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I am a member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists and am governed by their ethical standards as well as the ethical standards of the CRPO.
RELATIONAL THERAPY
At the heart of relational therapy is the relationship: the relationship with oneself, with important people, as well as the relationship between client and therapist. Our sense of self is formed by the experiences we have and the societal context in which we live. These experiences form beliefs, patterns, and ways of coping that may not be serving us any longer. In relational therapy, it is through the co-creation of a new kind of relationship between therapist and client – a relationship based in empathy, support and genuine presence - that healing from past relational trauma can take place. In this way, patterns of relating can be loosened and let go, allowing for freedom and authenticity to flourish.

EMDR (Eye Movement desensitization and reprocessing)
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach designed to help people process and heal from distressing or traumatic experiences. When overwhelming events occur, the brain's natural ability to process memories can become disrupted, leaving past experiences feeling emotionally charged or "stuck." EMDR helps the brain reprocess these memories so they become less distressing and no longer have the same impact on daily life.
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR has been extensively researched and is recognized as an effective treatment for trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It can also help with anxiety, panic, phobias, grief, low self-esteem, and distress related to difficult life experiences.
What to expect?
During EMDR therapy, you will be guided through a structured process that may include recalling aspects of a difficult memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, tapping, or alternating sounds. This process supports the brain's natural healing mechanisms without requiring you to discuss every detail of your experience extensively.
Our work together will always proceed at a pace that feels safe and manageable. EMDR is tailored to your individual needs, with a focus on building coping skills, emotional regulation, and a sense of safety throughout the therapeutic process.
