verified by TherapyRoute

I offer a warm, collaborative space for individuals navigating stress, trauma, grief, and major life changes. Integrating EMDR, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches, I help clients understand their stories, build resilience, and reconnect with their values so they can move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

About Me

I offer therapy for grief, burnout, trauma, and life transitions in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. I am a Registered Social Worker who provides EMDR and individual therapy.

Approach

My approach is relational and trauma-informed. I believe that healing happens through safety, connection, and compassion; both toward yourself and within the therapeutic relationship. I draw from several modalities depending on your needs: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): to help process traumatic memories and release patterns that keep you feeling stuck. Parts Work / Internal Family Systems-informed: to support self-understanding and compassion toward the different parts of you that have developed through past experiences. Mindfulness and Somatic Awareness: to help you reconnect with your body and regulate your nervous system. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): to build resilience, self-compassion, and alignment with your values. Narrative Therapy: to help you re-author your story in a way that honours your strengths and survival. Sessions are collaborative, gentle, and paced according to your readiness. I aim to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered; not rushed or judged.

Basic Information

Services


I provide both virtual and in office counselling for individuals, ages 17 and older. I help high-functioning adults; especially women and helping professionals who feel burnt out, emotionally overwhelmed, or impacted by past relational trauma. I support clients in healing old patterns, reducing self-criticism, and reconnecting with a more grounded and authentic sense of self. If you are ready for thoughtful, depth-oriented therapy that supports meaningful change, I would be honoured to connect.
