Relationships and connection can heal us all.
Relational therapy allows you space to express yourself authentically. As a Registered Social Worker, I’m here to ensure your experience is met with compassion, openness, and curiosity.
About Me
Helping you find a new way forward.
As a therapist in training with the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy (TIRP), I’ll work to create a space for you to slow down, reflect, and better understand who you are, and how you want to be in the world. We can explore connections in your life, patterns of relating to others, and make sense of your experience together.
Areas of Focus
Feel supported and understood
– no matter what’s happening in your life.
My approach to therapy maintains an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, compassionate, and queer/trans positive lens.
Grief
Loss is part of the human experience. Grief can be present even when good change happens.
Life Transitions
Change can feel overwhelming, but more manageable with someone to support your journey.
Gender & Sexuality
Everyone’s needs are different. Let’s explore yours together. We’ll move at your pace.
Relationships
We‘re wired for connection. Relationships are a vital part of the human experience.
Athletes/Sport
Our bodies are capable of incredible things; however teamwork, competition, and injury can bring unique challenges.
Stress & Overwhelm
With competing priorities and so much demanding our attention, let’s slow down together and discuss those pressures.

Some clients may opt for a few sessions, while others may continue in our work together for many months or years. The number of sessions will depend entirely on your needs. Relational therapy takes time, as the nature of the work allows us to explore, get curious, and dive deeper into patterns, while making meaning together.

I require a 24-hour notice prior to your appointment, in order for you to avoid being charged for the session.
