My Journey to Psychotherapy
Compassionate, professional care rooted in experience and dedication
With 18 years of experience as an educator in primary and secondary schools, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals through critical developmental stages. This foundation in education deepened my understanding of human growth, resilience, and the power of compassionate guidance.
​
My transition to psychotherapy was a natural evolution of my calling to help others. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor's degree in Human Psychology, providing me with a strong theoretical and practical foundation in evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
​
As a registered psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), I am committed to maintaining the highest standards of professional and ethical care. I am also a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator, specializing in helping couples build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.
​
My approach is rooted in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. I offer faith-sensitive therapy that welcomes Christian clients while remaining inclusive and respectful of all backgrounds and beliefs.
