It can be exhausting carrying everything on your own. Therapy can be a steady, supportive space to exhale, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and move toward real change. I’m currently a Master of Arts student in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy at Wilfrid Laurier University, with a background in Child Studies and Psychology from the University of Guelph, and I’m passionate about walking alongside individuals as they seek healing, clarity, and renewed hope.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I draw from practices such as spiritually integrated psychotherapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT/EFIT). This means we can explore the stories and experiences that have shaped you, understand the emotions and patterns that feel stuck, and identify strengths and next steps that fit your life right now. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and empowered at your pace. Faith and spirituality can be a meaningful source of comfort and direction, especially during seasons of anxiety, uncertainty, grief, or transition. If you desire Christian-based counselling, I’m glad to integrate prayer, Scripture, and spiritual reflection in a way that feels natural and supportive. You’re also welcome to bring questions, doubt, and spiritual struggle without pressure or judgement.

Through my experience supporting children and youth in educational and community settings, I’ve developed a strong appreciation for how identity, relationships, and environment shape wellbeing. I’m especially interested in supporting concerns related to anxiety, self-esteem, perfectionism, life transitions, and relational stress. Together, we can explore what’s weighing on you and move toward the growth you’re longing for. It would be a privilege to support you as you take your next step.
