It's time to live the life you want.

It's time to live the life you want.

It’s time to live the life you want.

You’re so tired of feeling stuck. No matter how many times you go through things in your mind, you can’t seem to figure out what you need and how to feel better.

You’ve been grappling with the idea of therapy for awhile but want a therapist who’s going to:

➝ Be relatable and understand what you’re going through.

➝ Call you out when needed (in a nice way, of course).

➝ Know that when you say ‘She watched my story!’ you’re referring to Instagram and not a fairy tale.

Hi, that’s where I come in!

What it’s like to work with me?

In sessions with me there won’t be any of that, lying on the couch while you stare at the ceiling and I analyze you stuff. I like to think of our sessions as productive conversations. Kind of like you’re talking to a close friend, but with expert guidance and the freedom to talk about whatever you want!

I won’t beat around the bush and will help you crack down on patterns and behaviours that might be making you feel stuck. I also help you draw connections in your life that you might not see yourself, give you helpful tools and strategies, problem solve, and more.

It’s my goal to give you a chill space, while also helping you grow and move towards your therapy goals. Sometimes I make jokes and we have some good laughs too:)

I get that life can feel impossible sometimes.

I’m a therapist but I’m also an anxious, perfectionistic Millennial (birds of a feather, am I right?). I get that shit is rough out there! Balancing everything in life can be a nightmare at times and there are soooo many expectations put on our generation.

Dating and relationships are more complicated than ever. Unlimited but very limited options on dating apps, ‘ghosting’, situationships and terrible communication can make you want to throw in the towel.

We’re highly driven but almost to a fault. Did you know we’ve been called ‘the burnout generation’? We live in a time where living expenses are beyond ridiculous and reaching your financial goals can feel impossible.

Our social lives are demanding AF and more stressful because of technology and social media. In short, I get it, and I’m here to help you.

A little more personal.

I like to spend time outdoors, travel, and experience new things. I’m always the person to suggest a random activity. My friends and I actually went through a period of surprising each other with random activities for occasions and I appreciate those memories so much! We’ve done a chocolate making class, a trip to an animal sanctuary, a dance class, a bartending class, soap making. Have I acquired any of these skills? No. Was it fun? Yes!

I also live a vegan, plant-based lifestyle and am pretty passionate about animal and human rights. I truly believe in equality and having compassion for all living things, including our animal friends. With that…I can’t watch any movies or shows that involve an animal getting hurt or dying. I just can’t! Homeward Bound is one of my fave childhood movies and that’s probably where this all started.

I have a huge sweet tooth, which I attribute to my partial French Canadian background. My grandmother made the best desserts! I’m also of Italian background, and have had the privilege of travelling to Italy three times (so far!). My fave food is also pasta…super original, I know!
