I believe that as we expand our emotional capacity and deepen mind-body connection, we intuitively cultivate a foundation for lasting wellbeing.  

As a psychotherapist, I believe that healing begins with a safe, supportive space where you feel truly seen and heard. My practice is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and a deep respect for each individual’s unique journey. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or personal growth, I am here to help you explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with curiosity and compassion. Using an integrative approach tailored to your needs, I strive to empower you with the tools and insights needed to foster resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful change. I understand that seeking therapy can be a big step, and my goal is to provide a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your challenges at your own pace. No matter where you are in your journey, you don’t have to go through it alone. I look forward to walking alongside you toward greater clarity, balance, and well-being.  

As a therapist with over nine years of experience, my practice is deeply rooted in connection, compassion, and evidence-based care. I’ve supported individuals, families, and communities through life transitions, anxiety, addiction, and life’s toughest moments. Whether in schools, hospitals, or my therapy practice, I provide a warm, client-centred space where healing, growth, and resilience can thrive. I’m passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your inner strengths and foster self-awareness to help make meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative and empathetic, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).  

*Accepting New Clients* My journey in medicine and public health has taught me that healing requires more than simply treating symptoms, it requires an understating of the individual, their culture, and any barriers they have faced navigating support. My approach to therapy is both empathetic and collaborative, focused on building a strong therapeutic alliance to ensure you feel both heard and understood. My goal is to create a safe space to allow you to explore your thoughts, behaviours, and emotions, while we integrate your personal experiences and values, to allow us to address any underlying issues that may exist and develop practical strategies for improvement. I am dedicated to helping you achieve the meaningful and lasting change you are seeking in your life. I work with individuals, families and youth aged 10+ and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure I am the right fit for your journey.  

Trauma and Shame ... get through the things that hold you back . - leaving you. stalled, anxious or depressed. Live the most authentic and full life available to you .  

My journey into this field is deeply personal. Having lived with anxiety, navigated grief, and taken on caregiving responsibilities early in life, I became committed to understanding mental health not only intellectually but in ways that could support genuine coping and healing. I understand what it can feel like to be stuck, lost, or caught in what seems like an endless loop of discouragement and emotional fatigue. These experiences have shaped the empathy and perspective I bring to my work. Through my work with individuals from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds, I have come to believe that human resilience is universal. Even in the most difficult circumstances, people find ways to endure and move forward. As a therapist, my goal is to support you in rediscovering your inner strength—helping you find clarity, reconnect with yourself, and rebuild a sense of hope and trust in your path forward.  

I offer comprehensive psychoeducational, ADHD, and gifted assessments. I approach assessments as a collaborative and thoughtful process, using evidence-based tools to better understand how you think, learn, and function. My goal is to provide not just answers, but meaningful insights and clear, practical recommendations that you can apply in everyday life. In therapy, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation and interpersonal skills, and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) to develop practical, goal-oriented strategies for change. I also integrate Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy to support present-moment awareness and stress reduction, along with Emotionally Focused Therapy to deepen emotional understanding and strengthen relationships. Whether I’m working with you in therapy or through an assessment, I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.  

*Accepting New Clients* My approach to therapy is founded on collaboration, drawing from your insights to co-create your path towards personal growth and empowerment. I work with individuals, couples, families, and youth offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I understand the importance of the therapeutic relationship and I make it a priority to create an environment in which you feel comfortable to explore the issues causing you distress. I carry a systemic lens in therapy, exploring the impacts of sociocultural factors and how they shape your identity and relationships.  

As a Registered Psychotherapist in Private Practice for more than 25 years and the CEO & Founder of True Roots Counselling Services, my delight is coming alongside people blindsided and overwhelmed by life-altering circumstances and empowering them with support, strategies and keys to transform their trauma into triumph. Once stabilized and liberated from resistance to change, people are well equipped to define the person of dynamic influence they long to be and live the victorious, purpose-filled life of significance that feeds their soul.  

I know reaching out for therapy can feel uncomfortable, especially if you’re used to carrying things on your own or trying to push through everything yourself. You might not even fully know how to explain what’s wrong yet, only that something feels heavy, overwhelming, or difficult to manage alone. My approach is warm, calm, and non-judgmental. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can speak openly, slow things down, and feel genuinely heard without pressure to have everything figured out right away. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck in ways that are leaving you emotionally drained, I aim to work alongside you at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful for you.

In addition to working at London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC), Madame Vanier Children Services in London Ontario and McDonald House Community Out-patient Psychiatry General Hospital in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario,with both adult and adolescent populations, I maintained a private practice since 1990. Since retiring from LHSC in 2016, my private practice has thrived and is now full time. At times life is a balancing act, and sometimes we need a little guidance and support to maintain that balance. An experienced therapist can help us move through difficult times, better understand our families/relationships, and find our inner sense of peace, well being and wisdom. Having a neutral, non-judgmental place to share difficulties,receive validation and support can be very beneficial. Collaboration to reach your goal is an essential element of our work together. The client brings open communication, a desire for change and I will listen unconditionally and without judgment. We will work together to help you hear your inner voice and nurture your resilience. Sessions are confidential and provide a safe and relaxed environment with your best interests as a priority. My counselling approach begins with a thorough assessment. This will include gathering information about social supports, daily routines and self care. Once problems are clarified, a detailed plan for counselling is made. Family or close supports are welcome to join sessions as desired. Please note that all counselling sessions will include confidential discussions and note-taking. At the initial session we will discuss consent to services, protection of your personal information and exceptions to confidentiality.
