A small change makes a big difference. I believe we all have the skills to deal with any challenge that life throws our way and that small positive changes often lead to bigger changes. Our sessions will focus on your desired future as opposed to only “the problem” and the past, while also holding space for how past (or current) hurts and hardships affect you today.

It takes so much courage to make that first step and come in for therapy, so I work hard to create a warm, supportive and non-judgemental therapy space. My approach is strength-based, which means I focus on goals or exceptions to “the problem”. Instead of looking for what is wrong and how to fix it, we will work together to find what is right and how to use it.

I have a Master of Social Work from Toronto Metropolitan University and have worked as a therapist for over six years. I have experience with a broad range of concerns, including: anxiety, depression, caregiving, grief, credit card debt, chronic illness, and dementia. More recently, I have been really enjoying working with new parents (Moms and Dads!).

I believe that there is always hope, that all behavior has meaning, and that you are the expert in your life. I love sharing resources and teaching clients how to be their own life coach/therapist/cheerleader/guide. Together, we will work hard to develop coping skills and solutions that are right for you.
