Overcome Challenges and Thrive with Confidence
I'm a Registered Psychotherapist based in Toronto. My passion lies in helping you build the skills, strength, and confidence to tackle life’s challenges and achieve your personal goals.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll probably find me immersed in fitness, nutrition, research, books, or indulging in a good (and often silly) pun!

My Expertise and Approach
With a diverse educational background, I bring extensive knowledge and experience to support your unique path to healing. I hold a BA and MA in Sociology, a Ph.D. in Exercise Sciences, and a Master’s in Counselling Psychology. Over the years, I’ve trained in evidence-based methods, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), along with Mindfulness-based CBT. I have also gained certifications in infertility counselling and perinatal mental health.
My specialties include the following areas of focus:
-
Therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, and OCD
-
Health behavior change
-
Relationship counselling
-
Infertility, pregnancy loss, and medical terminations
-
Third-party family building (such as donors and surrogates)
-
Pregnancy and postpartum mental health
-
Postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD
I customize my approach for every client. During our first session, we’ll explore your history, clarify what you’d like to achieve, and identify strategies that align with your situation and goals. Together, we’ll decide on the frequency of sessions based on your needs, schedule, and budget. Whether you’re seeking short-term solutions or ongoing long-term support, I’m here to help.
Why Choose Me?
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, so I focus on what works best for you. I offer a range of flexible options to make our sessions accessible and effective for your lifestyle. While many of my clients prefer virtual sessions (video or phone), I also offer walk therapy, where we can take our session outdoors for a therapeutic stroll.
For early risers, my Sunrise Sessions at 7:15 a.m. allow you to start your day with a boost. Sessions can be done comfortably from home, or you can join me in getting outside to walk and talk. There’s something transformative about combining fresh air, movement, and emotional support to set a positive tone for the day.
Above all, my goal is to help you achieve what matters most to you, as quickly and effectively as possible.
Let's Work Together
Whether you’re navigating a difficult moment in life, examining deeper patterns, or looking for tools to feel more confident day-to-day, I’m here to help. Together, we can create the change you’re seeking and pave the way toward a more fulfilling life.
I’d love to connect and learn how I can support you on your path.
