“An experienced and client-centered OT and psychotherapist, helping guide you toward living a values-based life. I'm currently only offering virtual sessions. Please contact me for a free 15 min. consultation, to see if we would be a good fit in helping you reach your goals.”

About Me

As an experienced psychotherapist, I help you explore what truly matters. Together, we can work towards living a life aligned with your deepest values. My virtual sessions offer a flexible, accessible way to connect from wherever you are. This approach suits those ready to make meaningful changes. We can discover practical strategies for a more fulfilling way forward.

Approach

When we work together, I focus on turning what matters to you into small, practical steps you can try day to day. Sessions are held online from Toronto, Ontario via secure video, scheduled to fit your routine and paced to your needs. Therapy blends brief coaching, activity-based experiments and mindfulness with reflective processing, plus simple between-session tasks to test what helps your mood, energy and daily function. This practical, steady approach tends to suit adults facing anxiety, burnout, life transitions or trauma.
