WELCOME
I believe that we all experience brokenness. I believe in the power of being heard with compassion and empathy. I believe that we can learn how to be kind with ourselves when we experience kindness.
You might be thinking about therapy because you want to work through a problem that persists in your life, to make a big choice, take a new step, sort through a past experience, or perhaps you simply want to feel better. Whatever brought you here, there is nothing too big or too small to bring into our therapeutic space.
This is your time.
My goal is to provide a space where you are safe to explore, where you are accepted, and where we can face your challenges together.
MY APPROACH
Relational psychotherapy is a process that places the focus on the journey rather than the destination. Together we can create a space that allows you to talk and me to listen and share our ideas about your experience together. Think of relational therapy as a place where we can sit in the mess and be curious, without judgment.
I work from a client centred framework that is feminist, anti-oppressive, sex positive, and 2SLGTBQIA+ -affirmative.
ABOUT ME
I graduated from the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy, a training program that meets the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) competencies for registration.
I am a member of the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy (CAPT) Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists (OSRP) and abide by the code of ethics. I completed the one-year training program for professionals at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto.
I have a BofA in Conflict Resolution Studies from the University of Winnipeg and it was in this program that I discovered the study of family systems and attachment theory.

RELATIONAL PSYChoTHERAPY
Relational psychotherapy is a powerful, effective model for working with people who suffer from emotional, psychological, and/or relational distress. Relational therapists help clients understand their own patterns of thoughts and feelings about themselves, as well as the power of significant past and present relationships to shape their experiences.
Through the process of therapeutic interaction, relational therapy strengthens and transforms a client’s sense of self, enhancing their confidence and well-being in the world. Empowerment and growth through interpersonal connection are both the process and the goal of relational therapy.
