 How I Can Help: My Approach to Therapy

Building Hope, Healing & Resilience

Finding the right support can make all the difference. Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate them alone.

With over 25 years of experience, I provide virtual therapy across Ontario, including the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Haliburton, and Cottage Country. 

Whether you are struggling with emotional well-being, trauma, relationships, identity, or life transitions, I am here to support you.

My approach is holistic, client-centered, and trauma-informed, integrating a variety of evidence-based therapies tailored to your needs. 

Some of the modalities I incorporate include:

✔ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
✔ Trauma-Informed Care
✔ Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Beyond these core methods, I integrate additional research-supported therapies tailored to each client. 

My practice is informed by extensive specialized training and certifications in various evidence-based techniques.
