Navigating life transitions can be challenging, especially when managing health, relationships, and self-worth. Many young people face difficulties communicating their needs, connecting with peers, and coping with performance pressure in sports and their careers. I believe in the power of the gray area between challenges that might first appear black and white - seeing multiple truths is one of my superpowers.
With over a decade of experience working in the mental health field, my expertise includes working with adolescents and a background as a former national athlete. This unique perspective informs a practice that integrates psychological insights into performance and well-being.
In our sessions, we’ll engage in mindfulness activities and explore new perspectives, creating a supportive and non-judgemental environment. It’s a collaborative journey where I’m here to support you, providing warmth and encouragement.
I’ve seen clients transform their lives, gain independence, improve family communication, and overcome anxiety. I believe in your capacity for change; even a small shift can lead to significant growth. If you got on a flight and the coordinates changed by one degree, you would end up in a completely different place… Imagine where that one degree of change could take you.

get to know me outside of therapy
I love cats—so much that I sat through an 18-hour tattoo session of my cat Walter… and I’m afraid of needles. I am always open to looking at pet pictures, and bonus points if I get to meet them during a virtual session!
I am a sports (and competition) enthusiast. I have represented Canada in field hockey and Ontario playing ringette. I am always open to learning about new sports!
