I work with individuals ages 18+ with presenting concerns related to anxiety, caregiver stress, chronic pain, dependency, existential and spiritual distress, grief / loss (including perinatal bereavement), isolation / loneliness, life transitions, loss of autonomy, self-acceptance / self-esteem, spiritual injuries, and traumatic experiences.

Practicing from an integrative and client centred approach, I incorporate a variety of techniques and tools from Attachment-Based Theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, and Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy to best suit your needs and therapy goals.

Collaboratively, we will evaluate how your early life experiences and relationships have shaped your beliefs and values about yourself and the world. We will unpack the stories you tell about yourself and interpret the meanings you have assigned to them. We will identify exceptions to your presenting problem and uncover alternative stories present in your life. We will work to emphasize your strengths, build your resiliency, and enhance your ability to cope with life’s challenges.

I completed a Bachelor of Arts in History and English Language and Literature from the University of Western Ontario and a Master of Publishing from Simon Fraser University. More recently, I obtained a Certificate in Thanatology (the study of dying, death, grief, and bereavement) from Conestoga College, and I am currently completing a Master of Psychospiritual Studies (MPS) degree through Knox College at the University of Toronto. I am the Knox College Student Representative for the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and am a student member of both the Canadian Association of Spiritual Care (CASC) and the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP).
