Whether you’re dealing with relationship struggles, emotional blocks, anxiety or other challenges, my holistic approach can facilitate powerful shifts, lasting change and deep healing.
With compassion and acceptance, I help individuals heal, transform and unlock the power within through a unique combination of heart-centred psychotherapy and energy psychology modalities – namely EFT/tapping.
My approach is supportive, engaging, direct (when necessary), compassionate and empowering. I come from a place of understanding, having sought out – and benefitted from – spiritual psychotherapy during a difficult period of my own life.
Therapy sessions, which are 60 minutes in length at a cost of $180 per session, are available online and in person out of Active Care Centre at 1200 Markham Rd. in Scarborough.
✿ I am proud to be an approved NIHB (non-insured health benefits) mental health provider. I provide culturally responsibe and trauma informed therapy to first nations, metis and inuit peoples and their families. I hold a San’yas Indigenous cultural safe certificate.
Techniques
In order to access the heart, connect the body, mind, and soul, and bring about transformation on a deep level, I use a variety of therapeutic techniques in addition to traditional ‘talk therapy’. EFT/tapping is a core part of my practice and approach (though it is entirely optional). Other techniques I rely upon include:
Mindfulness
Mindful Self-Compassion
Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Focusing and body awareness
Creative visualization and imagery
Inner child and inner critic work
Emotional release

If you’re interested in my therapy services – or think you might be – I invite you to schedule a free discovery phone call. I can tell you a little more about my approach and you can ask questions. From there, if you wish to proceed, we will book an initial intake session. At that meeting, we will discuss and establish goals and determine how best to work together to meet your goals.
If you’d like to book a 20-minute free consultation, please feel free to book directly online. If you’d like to get to know me a little better first, I invite you to read my About page here, or discover answers to some frequently asked questions about me and my practice here.
