At times, the body speaks what words cannot – through anxiety, fatigue, or pain. I work with adults and teens navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, challenging relationships, shame, stress, burnout and many other issues. I also specialize in working with chronic pain and chronic symptoms using somatic therapy approaches that help calm the nervous system and build resilience. Together, we explore what your symptoms and struggles may be expressing, so that you can gain new awareness and begin to experience relief, connection and freedom in your life.

Using evidence-based modalities such as psychodynamic, CBT and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (for those with chronic conditions), we will look at how your emotions, thoughts and physical experiences interact. Our work together aims to help you more deeply understand yourself, while also gaining concrete tools and practices that help you move towards your goals.

In my work with clients, I bring warmth, clarity and attentiveness. Together, we’ll uncover the beliefs and patterns that feel like barriers. In their place, we’ll help you tap into the inner-strength, wisdom and new perspectives that help you heal and grow.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Psychology from York University and am currently completing my studies at the Toronto Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling Education (TCPCE). Additionally, I have hold a certificate from the Toronto Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis (TICP) in psychodynamic approaches. I am a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. My prior psychological research in chronic pain, long-term illness and childhood disability in hospitals across Toronto has strengthened my appreciation for the complex ways in which physical, emotional and spiritual experiences intertwine. If you would like to explore the possibility of working together, please reach out for a no-cost consultation. 

I provide a free 30-minute phone conversation to determine how I may be of help to you or your child.
