In my practice, I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings and challenges without judgment. My treatment approach is integrative, combining elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Attachment-Based Therapy to address the unique needs of each client. I focus on helping you develop insight into your behaviors and thoughts, empowering you with the tools to make positive changes.

Outside The Therapy Session
"Why fit in when you were born to stand out."

"You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them."
— Maya Angelou
When I'm not in the therapy environment, I cherish my time spent in nature, whether it's hiking through the local trails or kayaking on the serene waters of Tiny, Ontario. These activities not only rejuvenate my spirit but also deepen my connection with the environment, which is a source of inspiration in my practice.
Music and dance are a big part of my life. I am an avid Zumba dancer. Zumba allows me to connect with others in my community and from around the world. Beyond nature and Zumba, I spend free time connecting with family, raising my daughter, meditating and reading books about mindfulness and inner peace. Continually exploring books across various genres, which enrich my understanding of human behavior and emotions. Additionally, I enjoy attending programs offered by the Metis Nation of Ontario and local Friendship Centre's.
These hobbies not only provide me with relaxation and joy but also enhance my therapeutic approach by keeping me grounded and connected to everyday life.
