A personalized approach to your well-being.

Welcome to my corner of the web! I’m a dedicated, solution-focused therapist with over 25 years of experience working with diverse populations. My compassionate and honest approach emphasizes the vital connection between the mind and body; fostering clarity and perspective that can alleviate feelings of worry, confusion and stress.

With a passion for travel and a keen interest in global issues, I bring a rich perspective to our sessions. I believe in the power of diverse viewpoints to enhance understanding and growth.

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family and friends, exercising first thing in the morning, listening to podcasts, exploring design and fashion, and engaging in activities that bring joy and connection. Let’s embark on a journey of healing and growth together!

I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Social Work. I am a member in good standing with the OCSWSSW, OASW and Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society (CFAS). I also support students as a Mental Health Support Worker.

WHO WE ARE

Frequently Asked Questions.

Can I Receive Counselling Anonymously?

While all sessions are private and confidential, I am a regulated health professional and must maintain clinical records. However, your information is never shared without your written consent—except where legally required (e.g., risk of harm or child protection).

What Should I Bring to My Counselling Sessions?

Just yourself. You may also choose to bring notes, a list of concerns, or questions you’d like to explore. If the session is virtual, ensure you’re in a quiet, private space with a good internet connection.

Do You Offer Support for Clients Who Cannot Afford Therapy?

I understand that financial barriers can impact access to care. While I do not currently offer free services, I can provide resource referrals, and in some cases, offer reduced-fee sessions based on need and availability.
