I offer a safe and compassionate space for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or deep emotional pain. I help clients process the impact of early life experiences and past emotional wounds so they can move beyond what keeps them stuck and build a more fulfilling, balanced life.

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO), member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP) and hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology. With over 25 years of experience in mental health—spanning hospitals, universities, and private practice across different countries and cultures—I’ve developed a deep understanding of the many ways people experience, express, and heal from pain. Healing happens in spaces where people feel safe, seen, and understood. That’s what I strive to create for youth, adults, and families working through trauma or anxiety using evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches. My approach draws from Attachment Theory, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Cognitive Behavior therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Alongside my clinical work, I teach in a bridging program for internationally trained mental health professionals and provide clinical supervision for psychotherapists working toward CRPO registration.

Healing is a choice—and every step forward counts. At Choosing to Heal, therapy becomes your space to reflect, grow, and reconnect with your authentic self, living with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional ease.
