ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS

I am a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist in London, Ontario, with experience in a variety of roles providing direct service to individuals experiencing intimate partner violence, mental health, and substance use challenges for 8+ years. I have experience providing clinical counselling, assessment, crisis intervention, and system navigation support through community organizations and hospital settings.

​

Knowing when to reach out for support can be difficult, and I'm so grateful that you're here. My psychotherapeutic approach is fundamentally based on Relational Theory, as I firmly believe that meaningful change begins with authentic human connection — an experience that is often lacking in our current sociocultural environment. Whether it's past trauma that is continuing to impact you, recent traumatic experiences that you just cannot seem to get through, current situational stressors, or anything in between, let's collaborate and make a plan to begin feeling like your ideal self and living your best life.

​

The processing skills and coping strategies that you've been using may not be as effective as they once were. Together, we can work towards identifying and deconstructing the challenge that you may be facing. My practice is rooted in the belief that individuals are strong and capable, and that sometimes life challenges are just too complex for us to overcome without adequate support. Informed by Polyvagal Theory, we will work together to increase awareness of and improve the body-mind connection. Drawing from EMDR, CBT, DBT, attachment-focused work, and Polyvagal Theory, depending on your unique experiences, we will collaborate to identify and work towards the achievement of your expressed goals and needs.

​

The foundation of my practice is a holistic, trauma-informed, strengths-based approach, focusing on meeting each individual where they are in their healing journey. I strive to create a warm, safe, welcoming environment to support an authentic connection. Psychotherapy sessions are available in-office, virtually, or walk-and-talk in the community or nature (yes, even in the cold weather — bundle up and bring a hot beverage!).

​

I'm a mom and wife, lover of a good book, avid runner and weightlifter, seeker of authentic connection, and feel most grounded when I'm near water. When I'm not in the therapy office, you can usually find me somewhere outdoors.
