At the heart of my therapy practice is a commitment to providing compassionate, personalized support that empowers you to navigate life’s challenges and unlock your potential for growth. As a Registered Social Worker and Narrative Therapist based in Ontario, I bring a unique blend of therapeutic expertise to each session, ensuring a holistic approach that is both empathetic and effective.
My practice is grounded in a strong academic foundation, with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Bachelor of Social Work, specialized training in expressive arts therapy for trauma, and hypnotherapy. I’m currently pursuing a Master of Narrative Therapy and Community Work, deepening my clinical expertise to better serve my clients. This diverse background allows me to integrate narrative therapy, mindfulness, visualization, and art therapy into my sessions, creating a space where you can explore your feelings, build resilience and empowerment, and discover your path to healing and personal growth.
I understand that life’s demands can make it difficult to prioritize therapy, which is why I offer flexible online sessions that fit seamlessly into your schedule. Whether you’re balancing work, family, or personal commitments, my availability during evenings, weekends, and holidays ensures that support is always within reach. You can access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own home, making it easier to open up and work through your challenges without the added stress of travel.
My approach is culturally sensitive and tailored to your unique needs, whether you’re struggling with relationship challenges, breakups, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, or other personal difficulties. I believe in the power of collaboration and will work closely with you to externalize your struggles, reframe, and transform your challenges into opportunities for growth.
What truly sets my practice apart is the creative and therapeutic synergy I bring to my work. As a past professional photographer and artist with a history of exhibitions across Canada, I can incorporate artistic elements into therapy that offer new perspectives and deeper insights. Whether through art therapy, mindfulness exercises, or visualization techniques, my goal is to help you not only overcome your current struggles but also to discover and cultivate the strengths and values that will guide you forward.
Choosing therapy is a courageous step toward a more fulfilling life, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Reach out today to begin your journey with a therapist who is compassionate and dedicated to helping you rewrite your story in a way that reflects your true potential.
