About

I am a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist with The Support Station, a Canadian-based, woman-owned organization that believes cost shouldn't be a barrier to accessing quality mental health and wellness support. Each client's session fees are adjusted according to not only their monthly income, but also any bills and debts paid out regularly get considered as well.

Biography

FINDING THE RIGHT THERAPIST IS OVERWHELMING! Especially when you’re already feeling anxious, burned out, or stuck… Good news for you, friend; your search just may be over. I offer a warm, collaborative, and evidence-based approach to therapy that helps you better understand your patterns, build practical skills, and move towards meaningful change at a pace that feels safe and manageable. My work is grounded in trauma-informed, strength-based care that integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy (where appropriate). I support clients with concerns including anxiety, mood difficulties, trauma, emotional regulation, life transitions, and feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. I believe your responses make sense in the context of your experiences. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you- it’s about increasing your awareness, building tools you can use in daily life, and helping you reconnect with your values, strengths, and sense of agency. I aim to offer both compassionate support and practical strategies, so sessions feel grounded, purposeful, and relevant to your real life. In addition to individual therapy, I have experience working within primary care and system-based settings, supporting clients with navigating complex systems, advocating for their needs, and reducing barriers to care. I value collaboration, transparency, and informed consent, and I work to create a space where you feel respected, heard, and empowered. If you’re looking for therapy that is thoughtful, evidence-based, and centered on your unique goals and needs, I would be glad to support you. QUOTE: "theralist" for $10 off your first session
