My Background & Journey into Psychotherapy

My Educational Path

My passion for mental health began with my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Wilfrid Laurier University, where I developed a strong understanding of human behavior and emotional well-being. I later pursued a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, which reinforced my commitment to helping others through psychotherapy.

How I Found My Calling

Initially, I was fascinated by criminal psychology and considered a career in criminal profiling. However, as I continued my studies, I realized my true passion lay in helping individuals, couples, and families heal and grow through therapy.

Specialized Training & Experience

✔ Advanced training in Treating Chronic Shame & Complex Trauma
✔ Experience working with survivors of human trafficking
✔ Facilitator for Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Groups
✔ Emotional Support Specialist for Individuals Navigating Grief & Trauma

These experiences have strengthened my ability to offer compassionate, effective therapy tailored to each client’s unique circumstances.

✔ Personalized Support – Therapy designed specifically for your needs and personal growth.
✔ Practical Tools & Strategies – Evidence-based techniques to help you navigate life’s challenges.
