Professional Bio
When you've been carrying everything on your own for a long time, life can start to feel overwhelming. Reaching out for support can be a big step, and finding a therapist who feels like the right fit is a deeply personal part of that process. I truly appreciate you taking the time to consider me, and I would be grateful for the opportunity to support you. As a Mental Health Counsellor, I offer a warm and supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are, without pressure, judgment, or needing to have the "right" words. Together, we can create a space to breathe, talk openly, and make sense of what you've been experiencing. My approach is person-centred and collaborative, meaning we work together in a way that honours your experiences, needs, and goals. I incorporate practical CBT tools alongside genuine conversation to help you better understand yourself, navigate challenges, and create meaningful change that feels realistic and manageable in your everyday life. I support adults across Ontario & Canada through secure virtual therapy sessions and (in-person coming soon to Oxford County) with a focus on personal growth, life transitions, parenting support, family & relationship communication, and health & life changes. If you're considering taking that first step, I offer a complimentary 20 minute consultation so we can connect and see whether we're the right fit.
