  • Recognise the patterns behind self-criticism
  • Separate your own priorities from external expectations
  • Communicate needs and boundaries more clearly
  • Practise responding to yourself with more fairness

Who I Work With

I support adults who are ready for change and want a space to feel heard.

  • Adults experiencing anxiety or feeling overwhelmed
  • People in life transitions or feeling stuck

  • Those who feel “fine” on the outside but not inside
  • Those seeking clarity, balance, and a more fulfilling life
  • People struggling with low mood, motivation, or a sense of meaning

My Approach

I believe therapy works best when it’s collaborative, down-to-earth, and tailored to you. My goal is to create a space where you can feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow.

Collaborative

We work together as a team—your goals, your voice, your pace.

Transparent

Clear communication and honest feedback guide our work.

Evidence-Informed & Human

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect in our first session?

We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you hope to change, and what support would feel most useful. You can ask questions and move at a pace that feels comfortable.

Do you offer online therapy?

Yes. Secure online sessions are available for clients located in Ontario.

How will I know if an approach is helping?

Therapy is an ongoing and collaborative process. Together, we will regularly reflect on how you are doing and whether our work is helping you move toward the goals that brought you to therapy. Progress can look different for everyone. You may notice greater understanding of yourself and your emotions, less distress, healthier ways of responding to difficult situations, improved relationships, or changes in how you think, feel, and behave in everyday life. I also welcome your feedback about what feels helpful and what does not. If an approach does not seem to be meeting your needs, we can adjust our focus or explore a different way of working together. Therapy should be responsive to you, rather than expecting you to fit a particular approach.

How often will we meet?

Most clients begin with weekly sessions. We can adjust the frequency together as your needs and goals evolve.

Considering Therapy?

A free consultation is a low-pressure way to ask questions and see whether working together feels right.
