It’s easy to get caught up in the demands of everyday life and forget to make space for yourself. On the outside, it may seem like you have everything together, but internally, you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or as though something is missing. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with what matters to you, and better understand the patterns shaping your experiences.

I work with individuals navigating life’s challenges, including those experiencing disordered eating, perfectionism, anxiety, or relationship difficulties. Drawing on cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment theory, and somatic approaches, we’ll work together to build self-awareness and self-compassion while moving toward a greater sense of well-being.

Approaches Used
Attachment-Based Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Psychodynamic Therapy
Somatic Therapy

I am a graduate student in the Counselling Psychology program at OISE, University of Toronto, and I hold a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Biomedical Sciences. This background keeps me grounded in research and evidence-based practice, while also shaping my appreciation for the relational and experiential side of counselling.

My experience includes supporting individuals navigating disordered eating as well as university students with disabilities and a range of mental health concerns. Throughout these roles, I have provided a compassionate and nonjudgmental presence. Additionally, I am proficient in French as a second language.

Outside of the therapy room, I’m someone who loves staying active. You’ll usually find me rock climbing, playing frisbee, going for walks, working out, or trying to beat my friends in a race. I also love going to the movies because there’s something special about being completely immersed in the experience. At the end of the day, I try to live life lightly, finding joy in life’s simplest moments. Life’s better shared, and I try to bring that same warmth and presence into my work with clients.
