I am a psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario (#6662) and member of the Ontario Psychological Association. I have extensive experience in consultation, counselling, psychotherapy, and psychological assessment with children, teens, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds. I have worked in the learning and mental health fields since 2010 in various settings, including schools, community agencies, and private practices. I am competent in clinical and school psychology.

At Sugar Maple Counselling and Wellness, I focus on my passion for helping teens and adults who have challenges with anxiety, depression, and related concerns (e.g., assertiveness, healthy boundaries, relationships, self-esteem, work/school stress, life transitions, daily functioning).

I use evidence-based practices to empower my clients to reflect on their priorities in life, strengthen their relationships, work toward their goals, and enjoy more happiness in their lives. My work is informed by cognitive-behavior therapy, attachment theory, and emotion-focused therapy.
