Welcome Message

Do you feel as though you lack control? Always struggling with that overwhelming feeling of anxiety? I’m here to support you in understanding your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Through a safe, non-judgmental, and inclusive environment, you will learn to create coping tools to navigate through overwhelming times. My approach to therapy is informed by a holistic and biopsychosocial view integrating CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy techniques, and ACT.

Earning a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and MSc in Sport & Exercise Psychology, I work with high-performing individuals and athletes. Additionally, I support all people experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, OCD, life transitions, addictions, anger management, perfectionism, and injuries.

When it comes to working with athletes, I take on a holistic approach recognizing that the athlete is a person first. Growing up as a competitive figure skater, I’ve personally experienced the many different stresses that elite athletes face in sport. For yourself, that may look like performance anxiety, nerves, stress, injuries, athletic identity, lack of confidence, disordered eating, or body image concerns. I work with individuals to find their optimal performance and wellbeing in and outside of sport.

As you read this and feel that I might be a good fit, please don't hesitate to reach out. I offer complimentary consultations and would be happy to support you in the best way that I can.
