As a Registered Psychotherapist, I strive to build a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to start your therapeutic journey. As a humanistic and person-centred psychotherapist my stance is rooted in the belief that humans are inherently healthy and aspire to learn and grow. Sometimes, we can get off course, whether as a result of a traumatic event, early neglect or mistreatment, or other stressful life events. I strive to help you access inner resources so that once overwhelming emotions can become a valuable source of guidance for your goals, needs, and values.

I work with individual adults from an Emotion-Focused (EFT) and Polyvagal-informed lens (i.e., an understanding of neurobiology of your nervous system). I also integrate modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to address your needs. I have worked with clients seeking services to help with binge-eating and body image, anxiety and panic, depression, grief and loss, as well as, PTSD and complex trauma. I have worked in community and private practice settings with clients from diverse backgrounds and aim to offer an inclusive environment.

I have a Minor in Women’s and Intersectional Studies from the University of Ottawa, as well as a research background in reproductive Health Sciences.
