The Road to this Room...

With 26 years of hands-on experience as an RMT, I've learned that the body speaks - even when we don’t. Guided by a deep curiosity about the mind-body connection, I earned my M.A. in Counselling from Saint Paul University in 2023. This integrated path shapes my approach to psychotherapy and emotional healing: layered, embodied, and grounded in compassion.

​

I’m a lifelong learner, yoga teacher, and mom to a brave cancer survivor. I’ve travelled, studied abroad, survived heartbreak, and learned to dance with the unexpected. Let’s explore your story together and uncover the strengths guiding you toward healing and growth.

 WHAT: Individual Psychotherapy

 WHO: Adults & teens (ages 16-106)

 WHY: Anxiety, depression, major life shifts, divorce, parenting stress, caregiving burnout, grief, loneliness, low self-esteem, cancer survivorship, narcissistic abuse recovery, post-traumatic growth & authentic living.

 HOW I stay grounded: Alone time, yoga, massage therapy, laughing with friends & dancing in the moonlight.

Real Talk. Real Change.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative process guided by a licensed therapist you can trust. In a supportive, judgment-free space, you’ll explore your thoughts, emotions and patterns—with curiosity, not criticism. Work with me to ease anxiety, break free from unhelpful habits, strengthen your relationships, and navigate life with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

​

Most of us didn’t grow up learning how to express our needs, navigate big emotions, set healthy boundaries, or truly accept ourselves. It’s no wonder so many of us move through life on autopilot—repeating patterns shaped by childhood, culture, and societal expectations. Therapy offers a chance to pause, reflect, and start making choices rooted in your values, insights, and truth.

About Therapy
Festival Fun

All are welcome.

Client-centered, trauma-informed therapy grounded in intersectional feminism. With tools like CBT, ACT, somatics, and mindfulness, I support you in reclaiming your voice, healing at your pace, and moving forward with clarity, creativity, and confidence.

I live and work on the traditional and unceded territory of the Anishinabe Algonquin people. I recognize that colonialism continues to give me certain unearned advantages in society and I am committed to dismantling oppressive systems and attitudes, and promoting equitable outcomes for all folks. 

​

I proudly welcome individuals of all backgrounds (ages 16+) and stand as a fierce ally to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. My space is one of unwavering support, inclusivity, and safety for you to be your true self.

"No one else should be able to tell you who you are; that's for you to decide." ~ Alok Vaid-Menon
