What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy offers a confidential and supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we approach life’s challenges—whether stress, loss, relationship struggles, or transition—with curiosity and care. Therapy is not only about reducing symptoms; it’s about reconnecting with your strengths, learning to live more fully with uncertainty, clarifying what matters most, and building resilience. Through this collaborative process, it is possible to find greater clarity, meaning, and a more grounded way forward.
About Me
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO, supporting people in navigating life’s challenges with greater clarity and purpose. I hold a Master’s degree in Spiritual Care & Psychotherapy from Wilfrid Laurier University and practice from an integrative, evidence-based, and client-centred foundation.
Mindfulness and Zen practice inform both my life and my work. I offer space for life’s deeper questions—whether spiritual, existential, or relational—with respect for diverse backgrounds and beliefs.
As co-founder of the Spirit Loft Movement Centre, I have supported individuals for over fifteen years as a movement educator and mindfulness facilitator, helping cultivate resilience and embodied awareness. My clinical training at the University of Waterloo’s Centre for Sight Enhancement strengthened my ability to accompany people through loss, traumatic brain injury, disability and profound life change.
As a former professional football player in the CFL, I also bring lived experience of high-performance stress and professional reinvention. Together, these experiences shape a grounded, compassionate therapeutic approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
What will the initial session be like?
In the initial session, we’ll focus on getting to know you better and explore what you’d like to address during our time together. Also, it’s perfectly okay if you’re unsure about what you want to explore at this stage.
What can I expect from therapy sessions?
Building a therapeutic connection is fundamental for developing a supportive and trusting relationship. Establishing rapport with each other allows us to approach your challenges with creativity and collaboration.
Sessions often start with a review of our previous meeting and any reflections you might have about it. The focus then shifts to what’s most important to you in the present moment.
What happens between therapy sessions?
Therapy facilitates an awareness of your inner and outer resources along with a fresh perspective of your self in the world. You will engage with these new understandings and insights outside of therapy and much of the change process occurs between therapy sessions.
How much does therapy cost? Is it covered by insurance?
Individual Session (Online or In-Person) 60 min – $170
