How can I help?

Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what you're carrying, and reconnect with yourself. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that you don't have to navigate difficult experiences alone.

I provide therapeutic services in-person, virtually or over-the-phone to Ontario folx that are 16+.

I acknowledge that it takes courage to begin looking for the right therapist. Please reach out if you have any questions that I can answer to help make this process a bit less daunting.

Why Whole, Actually. ?

This office is built on the belief that you are not broken, or a problem needing to be fixed. Here, I believe that with a little understanding, inner world investigation, and relational connection - we can build our capacity to feel safe with who we are, as we are. Despite the circumstances, you are still Whole, Actually.

I created this office with the intention of cultivating a space where folx feel less alone, can speak freely, and even laugh through the occasional (or frequent!) tears. Life experiences have a way of making us feel unseen, disconnected, alone, wrong, or not good enough. Things happen outside of our control and can make us feel powerless in our present and our futures. This space is about re-seeing, finding, and taking back the pieces of ourselves to remember that we are Whole, Actually.
