We all have our own, beautiful, way of being in the world. My goal is to join you in the depth of your sensation, and be with you in the difficulty and joy of how you experience the world.

We can stay with what is owned, pushed aside, shamed and beloved, and how that informs the ways we engage with ourselves, and the world around us.

Life doesn’t come with a manual and many of us can get stuck in thoughts, habits, or patterns that are difficult to see when we’re going through them. Things can become more complicated when we suffer from childhood trauma, PTSD, depressive symptoms, or the anxiety of future. At YourTherapist Psychotherapy and Counselling, we help you achieve your mental health goals and live a more content life.

Each of us faces trials and tribulations that can make life more difficult to manage. In these moments of hardship, one of the most important and difficult decisions you can make is to seek therapy.

I provide individual therapy and assessment for adults who experience psychological, emotional, and/or relationship concerns.

My goal is to help you feel understood, create a path for us to address your goals, and foster a collaborative therapy relationship together.

Deciding to seek therapeutic help is a significant step, as it requires deep reflection. Therapy requires a personal investment, so it’s not a decision taken lightly. It takes great courage to acknowledge that you need help, to seek out that help, and to open up to a new person. I commend you for allowing yourself to feel better and prioritize your well-being by taking this crucial first step.

My dedication to psychology is rooted in the belief that, while each of us is woven from unique threads of experiences and perceptions, there’s a universal longing for connection, understanding, and authenticity. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I am deeply honoured to guide your journey to uncovering, understanding, and reclaiming your story.

We cannot lie to ourselves: realizing that something is bothering us is the first step towards understanding our present situation. Coming to therapy is a positive second step. It allows us to see where we come from, where we are now and where we would like to be. We should also keep in mind that once we know something, we cannot unknow it.

It takes strength to recognize when you need support and even more courage to take action. Choosing to enroll in therapy is a significant step toward nurturing your well-being and investing in your own growth and happiness. I aim to provide the guidance and unwavering support that you deserve as you navigate the challenges and obstacles that life throws at you.

Sometimes life can become overwhelming because of our inner worlds or outer worlds. We try to manage our life’s challenges as best as we know, but occasionally we might need extra support to feel better. Seeking psychotherapy is an admirable decision since it is a type of self-care, and taking care of ourselves is essential for our wellness.

By processing the nature of your psychological struggles and seeking adaptive strategies to cope with difficult situations, you can find relief from pain. You deserve to seek out the best possible psychological care as a crucial step towards self-care and self-advocacy. I value your courage, and I believe that together we can embark on a journey of self-exploration and insight.

I consider it important to find a therapist that fits your needs and that you are comfortable with. I seek to provide a safe and warm place for people to explore and understand their psychological experiences and difficulties. Through our time together I hope to empower you as you undertake personal, emotional, and relational difficulties, so that you can see positive improvement in your life.

Life is a dynamic journey filled with both ‘high’ and ‘low’ moments. This process can feel even worse if you are alone or unsupported. In seeking help from a therapist, you have taken an important and admirable first step towards healing and growth. I offer you a warm welcome on your journey towards better mental health.

I am accepting new clients and offer services virtually. My approach to therapy is heavily influenced by my coach and leadership training - it's a results driven approach to therapy. I specialize in trauma and anxiety related disorders including PTSD, social anxiety and generalized anxiety. I offer supervision consultation for psychotherapists in training and workshops for educators.

I have been in the field of mental health for about 6 years now, and worked across many settings, including crisis lines, counselling centres, private practice, and hospital settings. I typically take on an integrational and evidence-based approach to therapy, where I combine elements of person-centred therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and parts work.
