In my personal view, therapy is a journey that is unique to every individual. My hope is to support you on your personal journey meeting all your needs along the way. As your therapist, my aim will be to create a safe, non-judgmental place for you to share your thoughts and feelings with ease. Together, we can discuss your values and identify your personal goals based on these values. Using a values-guided goals creation approach has been shown to increase the likelihood of achieving these goals and maintain them in the long-term. I use a client-centered approach, which means that you are in the driver’s seat, and you have full control of the direction our sessions will take. As this is your unique, personal journey, there are several therapy strategies we can explore for our work together, such as narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused therapy, and strength-based counselling.

I have spent 20 years as a business and life coach. I have worked with youth and adult entrepreneurs to establish goals and identify barriers and challenges stopping them from achieving those goals. With this experience and knowledge, I am training to becoming a psychotherapist at Yorkville University. Currently, I am completing my Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology and I am in the last trimester of my degree, completing my practicum at Sturgeon Counselling under the supervision of Rachel Sturgeon, MA, RP, CCC.
