Welcome, I am so honoured that you are here. Are you someone who struggles with achieving goals, managing stress, feeling burnout or just not yourself? Are you someone who is wanting to make a change but don’t know where to start?

I am a dedicated Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology practicum, practicing under the supervision of Kim Lawrence (BScH, MSW, RSW). I have always had a passion for working with and supporting individuals and have previously worked amongst diverse populations with varying needs. My philosophy is that every person possesses the ability to change. Making changes in your life can be difficult and overwhelming at first; I am here to guide you in this journey and help you find new strategies to add to your mental health toolbox so that you can achieve your goals and feel less overwhelmed during this process.

I believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits all approach and will collaboratively work with you to determine the best strategies to help meet your individual needs and goals. I use an integrative and compassion focused perspective to help clients fulfill their best lives whether that be building confidence, gaining insight, identifying purpose, achieving goals, cultivating positive connections, and/or shifting unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns.

I offer an empathetic and safe space where you can feel heard, validated and empowered. My hope is that on our journey together, you can find understanding, acceptance, compassion, connection, safety and purpose.

If you feel that this might be the right fit for you, I encourage you to reach out to me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. I truly look forward to working with you.

I provide attachment focused Child, Youth, Family Therapy, Adult and Couples Therapy. I use the frameworks of Family Systems Theory and Attachment Theory to guide my clients on the path to optimal mental health and functioning. I have been providing counselling services and support since 2009. I have particular experience in the areas of adolescent mental health, addressing parent-child conflict and supporting adoptions and adoptive families.

I believe in the changes and improvements that can be achieved when issues are addressed through counselling and therapy. That change is exponential when achieved in childhood and I work with my clients on their journey towards this. Sessions can range from individual children, youth or adult to full family sessions.

Therapy can take the form of many therapeutic modalities including Narrative Therapy, Story Telling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I have earned a Master of Social Work Degree and an Honours Bachelor Degree in Sociology and Psychology.

I hold a Master and Bachelor degree of Social Work from Memorial University in my home province of Newfoundland. However, I have been residing in Kingston, Ontario for many years and I am proud to call this beautiful city my family’s home.

I am a registered social worker and clinical counsellor who has been providing services to adults, families, and children since 2007. I love working with people and I believe we are all experts in our own lives. I offer a collaborative approach to therapy. I provide timely, confidential, and cognitive therapeutic services to individuals, couples, & families experiencing: - Inter-personal conflict (family, couples, parent/child) - Depression - Anxiety & intrusive thoughts - Poor body image & disordered eating - P.T.S.D.

As a counsellor, my approaches include talk (narrative) therapy, cognitive behavioral (CBT) therapy, family systems therapy, and attachment theory. The model I use involves setting goals and working on them together. I work with my clients to understand their struggles by understanding their thoughts, feelings, physical reactions, and behaviors and how they all fit together. A change in one aspect of our thoughts can have significant influence in everyday life.

I am currently accepting new clients and I am often able to book a session within the same week you make contact.
