More about me:
I am passionate about helping others and consider myself a lifelong learner! I hold a Masters of Arts Degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, a Honours Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Carleton University, and a Graduate Certificate in Human Resources Management from Algonquin College.
I understand my clients' challenges through an attachment, compassionate, and humanistic lens, meaning that we will take the time to understand how your past and present experiences have shaped you and use this insight to help you reach your goals and enhance your emotional and relational well-being.
I strive to create a safe and supportive space where we can work together to foster self-compassion, authenticity, and a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences. I believe that building a genuine connection with my clients is essential to supporting their journey toward embracing vulnerability, authenticity, and meaningful change.
Outside of the office, you can find me walking my dog, dancing, or at the gym!
