Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)


When challenges persist, it can feel isolating and difficult to move forward. Therapy provides a supportive space to gain new perspectives, build on your strengths, and foster meaningful change. It’s an ongoing journey of self-discovery and adaptation, where building self-awareness and embracing change can help you develop resilience and create lasting transformation. Together, we’ll explore your experiences with curiosity and care, working toward growth that is authentic and sustainable. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I offer a compassionate, client-centered approach, focusing on helping individuals navigate anxiety, cultural identity, negative self-talk, and relationship challenges. With a strong foundation in supporting neurodiverse individuals, I have extensive experience working with youth and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. Additionally, I have experience in couples therapy, family therapy, and working with trans youth, blended families, and individuals from the 2SLGBTQ+ community. My work has deepened my understanding of diverse needs and the importance of providing tailored, empathetic care. With a commitment to lifelong learning and professional development, I strive to create a safe and supportive space for every client. Whether addressing neurodiversity, mental health concerns, or personal growth, I approach each therapeutic relationship with compassion, respect, and authenticity. Starting therapy is an important decision, and it’s natural to feel both hopeful and uncertain. In our work together, you will gain deeper insights into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, empowering you to make meaningful changes. I’m here to help you explore your goals, overcome obstacles, and find new ways to navigate life’s challenges. If you’re ready to take the next step, I offer a free consultation to discuss how therapy can support your unique needs and aspirations. Your journey in life can get overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. Flexible schedule and affordable pricing available, please email for further information.
