Training and Experience

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with a degree in the Master’s of Arts Counselling Psychology from the University of Yorkville. I have over 17 years experience in the Mental Health field, with the past 9 years in clinical psychotherapy, supporting people with developmental disabilities and mental health issues. Post-graduate work includes Intensive Sex Therapy from the University of Guelph, Gottman’s Couple’s Therapy, and current enrolment in the Advanced Certificate in Couple and Family Therapy Studies at the University of Guelph.

I specialize in providing clinical psychotherapy to help couples heal from communication issues, infidelity, and sexual issues. Through a collaborative relationship, I work with couples to rebuild trust, develop a deeper emotional connection, learn healthy conflict resolution, and create shared meanings. My approach to therapy is a holistic, strength-based approach to address the psychological, physical and social needs of each unique client.

With compassion and unconditional positive regard, I use an integrative approach that includes, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, Humanistic Existential Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Couples Therapy. Working with my clients, we explore barriers and unhelpful thought patterns that are preventing them from living the life they desire. Through identifying strengths, I encourage my clients to empower themselves and work towards their personal goals.
