Maya Angelou said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”. Our stories are profound and provide significant insight into who we are and where we have come from.
It’s an honor to be invited into the experiences of someone’s life, and I believe that psychotherapy provides a fresh opportunity to tell our stories in meaningful ways. My therapeutic approach involves addressing the source of difficult behaviors and allowing clients to share their stories in a safe space. I am person-centered in my approach, so depending on the client’s need at hand I enjoy drawing from various modalities which I think will be most suitable to the client. Some of the modalities I work from are CBT, Internal Family Systems, Narrative therapy, and Existential approaches.
My education includes a master’s degree in Theology, with an emphasis in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy from Wilfrid Laurier. I also completed a Bachelor of Arts from Redeemer University in Social Work. My previous work experience involves coming alongside families, schools, and residential group homes to provide assistance and behavior management as needed, as well as mentoring young adults in a gap-year program abroad.

A psychotherapist (also commonly referred to as a “therapist” or a “counsellor”) helps with emotional and mental health problems in individuals, couples, and families through a variety of therapeutic approaches. In 2007, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) defined psychotherapists in Ontario as “regulated health professionals,” which means that all psychotherapists in Ontario need to be licensed members of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and to utilize the formal title of “Registered Psychotherapist (RP).”
A Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) holistically believes that your relationships with others (for example, with your family members) represent an essential aspect of your life and personal well-being and that your counselling process is more effective if he or she fully considers all of your relationships within her or her treatment plan for you. A Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) is a Pre-Clinical Fellow within the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT).
A psychotherapist (also commonly referred to as a “therapist” or a “counsellor”) helps with emotional and mental health problems in individuals, couples, and families through numerous therapeutic modalities. A psychologist may work in a variety of possible roles, from teaching psychology courses in universities and engaging in academic research to counselling clients and administering advanced psychological assessments. A psychiatrist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment (mainly through psychotropic medication) of mental or psychiatric disorders. A social worker helps people to resolve issues of everyday life (including through counselling services) and to access government and community resources.
