Do you feel alone, overwhelmed or fearful of changes you have no control over? I’ve been there and still remember the pressure of trying to ‘be perfect’ while also fitting into what others wanted me to be. Since then I have found the tools and answers I wish I had received. I now specialize in helping adolescents, teens and young adults in person in Cambridge and virtually across Ontario manage the uncertainty and stress faced each day. This includes challenges such as anxiety, self-esteem, school, career guidance, social media, relationships, body image and ADHD. I hold a space where you can feel safe to be yourself or at least begin figuring out who that may be. I hope to be someone in your life who you know will never make judgements but always be on your team. I take a down-to-earth approach where we can connect on a personal and human level using both humour and empathy. I have a background as a Child and Youth Worker and experience in emergency shelters allowing me to further gain insight and perspective into the current challenges faced by youth today.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I hold a Master of Arts (MA) in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. In my sessions, I combine Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), ADHD Coaching and take a trauma-informed approach.
My journey and connection with others have taken me around the world, from Australia to Asia, experiencing the beliefs of many different cultures. This has given me an understanding of mental health and how connection and understanding are needed for healing.
Please reach out so we can schedule a free consultation to meet and see if I may be a good match for your needs. This is an important first step toward enhancing your mental and physical well-being.
