Are you feeling weighed down by anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or self-doubt? Maybe academic pressures, work stress, or life transitions have left you feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Perfectionism, identity struggles, or the need to constantly compare yourself to others can make it even harder to move forward. If this sounds familiar, you don’t have to face it alone. Reaching out for support can feel intimidating, but it’s also the first step toward creating meaningful change in your life.

I specialize in working with students, young adults, and adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts/OCD, self-esteem, and life transitions. Together, we’ll create a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. In our sessions, we’ll focus on building practical tools, like reframing negative thoughts, identifying and managing triggers, practicing mindfulness, and learning ways to regulate emotions, that you can use in your daily life. Over time, these strategies can help reduce symptoms, improve your confidence, and support you in reconnecting with what matters most.

My approach is personalized, strengths-based, and holistic, drawing from evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based practices, and psychodynamic approaches. In practice, this means we might explore the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours (CBT) so you can shift unhelpful patterns into healthier ones. With ACT, we can focus on helping you accept difficult emotions, clarify your values, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want to live. Psychodynamic work can help us understand how past experiences and relationships shape your current challenges, giving us insight into why certain patterns keep showing up. Mindfulness strategies allow you to stay present, regulate emotions, and respond with more calm and clarity. Together, we’ll choose the tools that feel most useful to you, so therapy always feels relevant and empowering. I adapt each session to your unique needs and goals, so that our work together feels meaningful and effective. Whether you’re hoping to reduce the grip of intrusive thoughts, build healthier coping strategies, or gain clarity during a life transition, I’ll meet you where you are and support you at your pace.

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I am fully supervised by experienced clinicians while completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. This means you receive therapy that is not only affordable, but also supported by fresh, up-to-date training and additional oversight to ensure high standards of care.

I believe every person is worthy of compassion and capable of growth. Beginning therapy is an act of courage, and I would be honoured to walk alongside you in your journey. I offer in-person sessions at our Barrie and Newmarket locations, as well as virtual and phone therapy across Ontario. If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to book a free, no-obligation 15-minute consultation so we can connect and see if I’m the right fit for your needs.
