I take an integrated, client-centered approach to therapy, fostering a supportive and empathetic relationship built on trust. My focus is to meet clients wherever they are on their journey, helping them navigate challenges and achieve their goals. Drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities—including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—I tailor my approach to best support each individual's needs.
While I enjoy working with all types of clients, I specialise in working with neurodivergent inditivduals. My previous education as a Behaviour Analyst has fostered this area of interest.
My passion for yoga and lifelong learning led me to become a certified yoga teacher in 2020. This experience deepened my understanding of the significance of individual, interpersonal, and emotional energy in forming and sustaining meaningful connections, which I integrate into my therapeutic practice.
I live in Cobourg with my husband, our dog Frank, and our cat Sigmund. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, crocheting, and spending time outdoors.
