Beginning therapy is a meaningful step towards improving your mental health, and I would be honoured to be a part of your journey. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for lasting change. In line with my own neurodivergent identity, I see our work as a partnership where you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to provide a safe, confidential, and compassionate space for you to explore your unique experiences, challenges, and goals without judgment. I will approach our time together with warmth and curiosity, helping you uncover new insights and build the skills you need to thrive. By helping you harness your inner strengths and resilience, together we will create a path forward that feels authentic and empowering.

Therapist
Individualized & Holistic Care
I value and respect the inner wisdom and resources of every person, and am proud to work with people of all genders, sexual orientations, cultures, neurotype status (i.e., neurodivergent or neurotypical) and relationship types. I am particularly passionate about working with those who are interested in increasing awareness of how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours affect their psychological, physical, and relational health through engaging in deep, sustained therapeutic work.
Therapeutic Approach
I work with people across all stages of life to help them navigate difficult emotions, unhelpful behavioural patterns, and relationship issues. I also support clients in building self-worth, processing past trauma, managing academic and professional stress, and exploring questions of sexuality and identity. My therapeutic approach is integrative, and uniquely tailored to each person. I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities within a relational psychodynamic framework that emphasizes the importance of our therapeutic relationship.
What to Expect on Your Therapeutic Journey
In our initial sessions, we will work together to identify and explore your primary concerns. I will listen closely as you share your story, conducting a comprehensive interview to thoroughly grasp the challenges that you are facing. This process helps us not only pinpoint the issues that you want to tackle, but also recognize the personal strengths that you can draw on. As we move into the treatment phase, you are in control. You set the pace and decide what you are comfortable discussing, sharing only what feels right to you. My role is to be an attentive listener, offering insights on what I believe might be influencing your current situation. Together, we will build a shared understanding and a path forward to help you achieve your goals.
Education & Training
I am currently completing an MPsy in Clinical Psychology at Adler Graduate Professional School, and hold a BA with Honours in Psychology with a concentration in Counselling and Mental Health from York University. I am the incoming student council co-president, and my elective coursework will focus on trauma and relationships. My past undergraduate research explored academic anxiety, as well as detecting distress via writing style and content. My upcoming thesis will examine an under-researched population typically labelled as treatment-resistant, and what motivates them to approach psychotherapy.
In addition to my academic background and research interests, I have volunteered and worked in the training and management of distress and crisis counsellors since 2017, as well as a sexual health clinic. In my current role with Distress Centres of Greater Toronto, I have been a strong and successful advocate for improving organization-wide policies, protocols, and training.
I am currently supervised at Avalon Psychology by Dr. Brent Mulrooney, C.Psych.
