Life Coaching and Psychotherapy are two transformative approaches aimed at enhancing the quality of your life. However, it’s important to note that the two approaches differ in methodology and focus. My life coaching program provides a supportive and encouraging space for clients who are interested in achieving specific outcomes in their professional and personal lives. Together we assess and clarify goals to ensure that they are in sync with your life’s values, vision, and purpose. We then collaborate and customize an action plan that not only helps you develop new strategies and skills but builds upon your current strengths so you can maximize your full potential. The life coaching program is very much focused on your current and future self.

Conversely, a significant focus in psychotherapy pertains to building an awareness and understanding of your past in an effort of addressing current difficulties (mental health and psychological struggles, emotional distress, dysfunctional relationships etc.) getting in the way of what you want for your future. My overarching goal is to create a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to explore and come to know yourself better. Together we may spend time processing and healing from past hurts and traumas while establishing coping strategies to effectively manage overwhelming emotions and distressing thoughts. My therapeutic approach is primarily grounded in both narrative and solution-focused therapies. This means that while I give you space to share your personal stories and the meanings you’ve attached to those stories I gear our conversations toward helping you identify and develop possible solutions to address your presenting problems.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario (CRPO).I’ve earned a Doctorate of Education in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University, A Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, and an Honours Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from York University. Additionally, I have received extensive training in Solution-Focused Therapy from the University of Toronto. Over the last decade I have worked within the public and private sectors offering clinical and counselling supports to community and government based programs. Over the last few years I transitioned into private practice where I primarily provide psychotherapy and life coaching to professionals and business owners.

I help people manage and resolve a range of problems. Clients may need help working on achieving a particular goal and/or need support to deal with personal, relational, and/or work issues.
