About Me

I am a passionate and dedicated therapist based in London, Ontario. For over 20 years, I’ve worked with individuals from all walks of life, youth and parents struggling to connect, those navigating separation or divorce, people facing mental health challenges and low self-esteem, and individuals living with chronic illness or pain. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in trauma-informed care.

I believe healing happens in relationships, and the quality of our connection is key. My job isn’t to “fix” you (because you’re not broken), but to help you gain deeper self-understanding, challenge unhelpful patterns, and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy isn’t just about talking, it’s about uncovering what’s beneath the surface and exploring it with curiosity and compassion.

I also get that change can be uncomfortable. The coping strategies we develop, whether you’re overthinking, avoiding, people-pleasing, or that thing where you replay a conversation from five years ago at 2 a.m., exist for a reason. Rather than forcing change, we’ll explore these patterns together, helping you understand how they show up in your life and whether they’re still serving you.

Since no two people are the same, I choose the approach for your needs, drawing from different therapeutic styles. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, navigating relationships, or just feeling stuck, I’ll support you with warmth, humor, and deep respect for your journey.

My Values

Curiosity

To me, curiosity means keeping an open mind and recognizing that there is always more to learn about someone. It’s about valuing different perspectives and experiences, even when they challenge my own. This openness is essential for building meaningful relationships and fostering deeper understanding.

Collaboration

I am not the expert on your life—you are. I see myself as a passenger in the car you’re driving. If you feel lost, I’ll help you navigate, but you hold the map. I may not have the answers, but I have the questions that will help you find them.

Integrity

Integrity isn’t just about work ethic; it’s about aligning actions with values, even when it’s difficult. It means asking hard questions, holding ourselves accountable, and making choices that reflect our principles—not just what’s easy or expected.

Vulnerability

Before I am a therapist, I am human. I, too, have faced pain, uncertainty, and existential questioning. Our shared humanity connects us. Vulnerability is not weakness—it’s courage, strength, and the basis for deeper, more authentic relationships.

Non-conformity

I believe in pushing back against oppressive systems and advocating for those who have been marginalized. Non-conformity, to me, is about questioning the status quo, seeking accountability, and creating space for people to express their individuality fully and unapologetically.
