About Me
Greetings! I’m so happy you have taken this step in your journey.
I’m a dedicated Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Nurse offering relational, somatic, and Gestalt therapy for adults across Ontario.
Many of the people I work with are insightful, capable, and used to holding things together for others, but inside feel overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift. You may find yourself overthinking, shrinking in relationships, struggling to slow down, or carrying a heaviness that’s difficult to explain.
My approach is grounded in curiosity, connection, and present-moment awareness. Together, we explore not only what’s happening in your life, but how you experience it emotionally, physically, and relationally. I believe meaningful change happens when we begin to understand ourselves more deeply, not through judgment, but through awareness and compassion.
I offer relational, somatic, and Gestalt therapy, which means we pay attention to your thoughts, emotions, body, and patterns as they arise in the moment. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to you. I’ll support you in exploring your experience at a pace that feels manageable while gently helping you build awareness, self-trust, and greater choice in how you move through your life and relationships.
My background in trauma-informed mental health nursing has shaped my ability to stay grounded in complex emotional experiences while creating a space that feels attuned, warm, and real. There’s room here for depth and lightness, for tears and laughter, and for the parts of yourself you may not have had space to fully explore before.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to carrying things on your own. You don’t have to figure it all out before reaching out. If something here resonates with you, We can connect and see if this feels like the right fit.
How I Work
My work is relational, somatic, and grounded in Gestalt therapy. This means we pay attention not only to what you think, but also to what you feel, sense, and experience in the moment. Together, we explore patterns, emotions, and ways of relating that may no longer be serving you.
What You Can Expect
In sessions, you can expect a space that is grounded, collaborative, and attuned. I’ll support you in exploring your experience at a pace that feels manageable while gently increasing awareness and self-understanding.
