Whether you’re noticing patterns in your relationships, your responses to challenges, or how you show up in the world – you’re ready for something different.

Individual therapy helps you understand what you’re cultivating and grow what you actually want.

If you’re a thoughtful person ready to explore what’s happening beneath the surface — whether in your personal relationships, your leadership challenges, or your responses to life’s complexities — therapy can be a powerful space for the deeper self-understanding and intentional growth that helps you show up as the person, leader, and contributor you want to be.

  • Individual therapy for adults

    Some people come to therapy to work through specific challenges. Others come because they want to grow as a person, become a better leader, or understand themselves more deeply. Many come for a combination of reasons.

    I provide individual therapy for adults (18+) navigating a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns, including:

    • Anxiety and overwhelm that interferes with your sense of peace, relationships, or ability to pursue what matters to you, where we work together to develop the inner calm, clarity, and courage that allows you to live more fully and intentionally
    • Chronic self-criticism that creates suffering and gets in the way of the life and connections you want, where we explore how to cultivate the self-kindness and understanding that allows you to move toward what truly matters to you
    • Grief, loss, and life transitions where we work together to help you move forward with intention and self-compassion rather than just getting through, finding your own way of processing what’s been while embracing what’s possible
    • Complex family or work dynamics with many layers, where we work together to explore ways of navigating that feel thoughtful and align with your own sense of integrity, even when there’s no simple solution
    • Leadership and professional growth where you want to cultivate the emotional intelligence, courage, clarity, and self-awareness that allows you to lead, collaborate, and work with others with wisdom and care
    • A desire for personal growth that goes beyond quick fixes to genuine self-understanding and becoming the kind of person, partner, leader, or community member you want to be
    • Health challenges or chronic conditions where we work together to explore ways of supporting your well-being and living as fully as possible, finding what helps you take care of yourself and stay connected to what matters to you

    Many thoughtful, successful people use therapy as a space to process decisions, develop emotional skills, work through transitions, or simply have a place to think out loud with someone trained to listen.

    Whether you’re a parent wanting to break generational patterns, a manager learning to navigate difficult conversations, a healthcare worker processing the weight of your responsibilities, or someone exploring what kind of leader you want to be, this work can help you grow in ways that matter to you.

    You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. We can begin wherever you are.

  • My approach

    My approach draws from evidence-based therapies that emphasize self-compassion, emotional resilience, and living according to your values rather than just managing symptoms. Whether we’re working with anxiety, self-criticism, grief, major life transitions, or developing your capacity as a leader and decision-maker, I’ll help you develop practical skills while also exploring the deeper patterns and insights that create lasting change.

    This work serves both your personal well-being and your ability to show up thoughtfully in your relationships, work, and community. Many clients find that as they develop greater self-awareness and emotional regulation, they naturally become more effective leaders, parents, partners, and contributors.

    I understand that you’re not just a collection of symptoms or problems to be fixed. You’re a whole person navigating complex relationships, life circumstances, family patterns, work stress, and internal experiences that all influence each other. This means we can find many different entry points for positive change. Sometimes developing better emotional regulation helps you become a more thoughtful leader; learning to manage your own anxiety allows you to be more present for those who depend on you; or working through old family patterns transforms how you handle workplace conflicts.

    How we work together is always shaped by your unique needs, preferences, and hopes for therapy.

    I practice within my authorized scope and am committed to ethical, culturally sensitive, and trauma-aware care. While therapy isn’t about quick fixes, I offer a respectful, collaborative space where your experience is welcomed and your autonomy honoured.

  • How we can work together

    Sessions are offered:

    • In-person near Sydenham, Ontario
    • Virtually for clients across Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and the Yukon

    In our work together, I’ll meet you with warmth, curiosity, and care, and a deep respect for your pace, your inner resources, and your vision for who you want to become. Whether you’re processing a difficult transition, developing your leadership capacity, or working through personal patterns that affect all areas of your life, our sessions will be tailored to your unique goals and situation.

    Some clients come for focused support around specific challenges or transitions. Others engage in ongoing work centered on personal growth, leadership development, or deeper self-understanding rooted in self-compassion and kindness toward yourself. Many find that this work naturally evolves over time. What begins as support for workplace stress might grow into exploring your vision for leadership with greater self-awareness, or work on self-critical patterns might expand into developing the emotional intelligence and self-kindness that serves you in all areas of life. There’s no predetermined timeline – we work at the pace that feels right for your growth and circumstances.

  • Group offerings (currently full)

    At times, I offer small, closed groups for those interested in the structure and connection of group therapy. Groups meet regularly (biweekly or monthly) and are rooted in mindfulness and compassion-based practices, often including creative or expressive elements.

    Group themes often include:

    • Self-compassion
    • Emotional resilience
    • Navigating life transitions with care and intention

    Between-session practices are emphasized to support integration.
