I’m an intern/practicum student and work with teens and adults. I use a person-centred, non-judgmental, compassionate approach to therapy. I will provide you with a safe and validating environment to address the concerns in your life. You can expect I will be respectful, engaged and honest with you. I might even incorporate a little humour when the time is right.
I have a particular interest in Emotion Focused Therapy and Narrative therapy. I believe emotions are the key to understanding ourselves, why we do what we do and how we can make small changes to improve the quality of our lives. As such, my sessions empower you, helping you to understand and work with your emotions so that you can use them as a guide to help you make positive decisions in your life.
I am studying a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University and have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in English from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University). I have also received a certificate for Spiritual Competency Training in Mental Health from the University of Maryland.
I specialise in working with adults and teens struggling with anxiety, mood disorders, low self-esteem, life transitions and peer relationship issues. I have experience working at a sexual assault survivor support line and have developed online materials for individuals in crisis.
