Do you long for deeper connection and ease in your relationships?
When disconnection or repeated patterns leave you feeling distant from your partner, yourself, or even your faith, the impact runs deep- affecting your emotional well-being, nervous system, physical health, sleep, energy, and sense of purpose.
At the same time, healthy, supportive relationships are incredibly life-giving. They help you grow, laugh more freely, feel truly seen, and move toward shared goals with renewed meaning and vitality.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Who I Help
I work with individuals, couples, and engaged/pre-marital couples across Ontario who want to:
- Rebuild trust, improve communication, and restore intimacy in their partnership
- Prepare for a strong, fulfilling marriage through premarital counselling (communication skills, conflict tools, values alignment, and emotional connection)
- Heal attachment wounds from childhood or past relationships
- Strengthen self-concept, self-esteem, and your relationship with your own body
- Navigate anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, or relational distress that shows up in your closest connections
- Integrate Christian faith principles and theological truths into your healing journey (upon request)
How I Help: My Approach
I offer a calm, non-judgmental, holistic space where we gently explore your inner world including your values, needs, strengths, and the places where life feels both painful and hopeful.
Together we create practical, doable shifts that support greater alignment and fulfillment across your relationships, work, faith, and daily life.
I draw from evidence-based approaches, including:
- The Gottman Method (Levels 1 & 2) – one of the most researched approaches for couples and premarital work
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Attachment-based and Internal Family Systems (IFS) elements
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools for grounding and self-soothing
When desired, I integrate Christian faith perspectives, supporting trauma healing and the re-alignment of your God-concept with theological truths while honouring your spiritual journey.
My Training & Experience
My path to this work is shaped by both professional training and lived insight.
I completed Gottman Levels One and Two and am currently pursuing my Master of Divinity in Clinical Counselling at Tyndale University. This training equips me with evidence-informed tools while integrating psychological and spiritual perspectives on how our relationships with ourselves, others, and God shape overall well-being.
Before transitioning into psycho-spiritual counselling, I built a career in a multinational consulting firm and earned my Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation. That experience gives me a unique understanding of the pressures, burnout, and high-achieving demands many clients face in fast-paced professional environments.
More Than Just My Work
Outside the therapy room, I recharge through real-world experiences that remind me of beauty, connection, and God’s presence. I enjoy discovering new music at concerts, attending fashion shows, people-watching in vibrant neighbourhoods, travelling to new places, and meaningful conversations with my boyfriend and sisters about global systems, faith, and navigating life.
These experiences deepen my appreciation for the redemptive work happening in and around us.
