About Me
I am a trauma‑informed registered Psychotherapist specializing in EMDR therapy, supporting clients in healing from distressing experiences, strengthening emotional regulation, and developing a deeper sense of safety and self‑connection. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence‑based practices that honor each client’s unique story and pace. I hold professional credentials in clinical practice and EMDR training, and I am committed to ongoing education to ensure high‑quality, ethical care. My work integrates attachment‑based, somatic, and mindfulness‑aligned strategies to help clients move toward lasting change and resilience.
Education & Experience
I hold masters‑level clinical training supported by 25 years of clinical experience. After completing my EMDR education, I remain deeply committed to ongoing professional development in trauma‑focused modalities. My background includes specialized practice integrating CBT, DBT, IFS, and ACT to support clients with evidence‑based, holistic care.

I am Clinical Director at Credit Valley Counselling and Psychotherapy. I maintain active professional affiliations with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP), EMDR Canada, and the Canadian Association of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies (CACBT). These memberships support my commitment to ethical practice, ongoing learning, and alignment with organizations that uphold high standards in trauma‑focused and evidence‑based care.
