With a deeply client-centered and integrative approach to psychotherapy, I bring a calm, supportive presence to the therapeutic relationship. I meet each client exactly where they are, honouring their lived experiences and offering a safe, validating space to explore challenges with compassion and clarity. My work is shaped by a strong foundation in behavioural science, clinical psychology, and relational, evidence-based therapeutic practices.
I specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals, drawing on my background as a Behaviour Analyst to bring insight, structure, and sensitivity to the therapeutic process. Whether navigating anxiety, emotional regulation, trauma, or the complexities of everyday life, I work collaboratively with clients to identify strengths, build resilience, and move toward meaningful and sustainable change.
My personal passion for yoga and mindfulness has deeply informed my understanding of the connection between emotional energy, embodiment, and wellbeing. These perspectives naturally weave into my work, helping clients cultivate greater awareness, balance, and inner steadiness.
Outside of my clinical work, I live in Cobourg with my husband, our dog Frank, and our cat Sigmund. I find joy in traveling, crocheting, and spending time outdoors—practices that nurture my own sense of grounding and connection.
