I am a Student Therapist completing my Masters in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy at the University of Toronto. I bring a relational approach to those I work with and view clients as resourceful and resilient. I have over seven years of experience in frontline mental health, supporting individuals through challenges that do not always have a clear or straightforward answer. It is my goal to create an inclusive space where clients can feel seen, understood, and accepted wherever they are in life.
In order to meet people where they are at, I integrate a person-centred approach in my work, establishing a supportive and collaborative relationship. I am passionate about supporting growth, confidence, and resilience as I walk alongside people through change.
I have a broad range of experience supporting individuals across school, in-home, and community-based settings. My experience includes working with people navigating a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, emotional regulation and periods of uncertainty. I have also volunteered with peer support centres focused on reducing stigma surrounding mental health. These experiences have allowed me to work with people from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of needs and have shaped my belief that support should be flexible and responsive to each person’s unique experiences.
By approaching people with curiosity and compassion, I use reflection to better understand behaviour in context and to tailor support. I bring a warm, strengths-based, and trauma informed approach to my work and value collaboration to promote meaningful change.
