My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own personal struggles, when a series of major life events led me into a deep depression. In response, I entered an intensely introspective period, asking myself difficult but necessary questions. Through this process and with the support of therapy, I gradually emerged from that dark chapter with a clearer understanding of who I was and what I wanted to do with my life. 

I went on to earn a degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work, dedicating myself to exploring new methods and approaches that could help others build the skills they needed to create meaningful, fulfilling lives. As my awareness grew, I developed a deeper sense of patience and compassion for myself while realizing their importance in the process of change. Today, those same values are at the core of both my personal life and professional values. 

In addition, I serve as Chair of the Board of Directors for a not-for-profit organization in southwestern Ontario that supports underprivileged families with young children. 

Alongside my education and board work, I bring nearly 20 years of experience working with local athletes and have a strong background in competitive sports. I have witnessed firsthand how critical the mental aspect can be—often making the difference between reaching your goal and falling short. Because of this, I developed a course to teach psychological skills proven to enhance competitive performance and assist athletes to cultivate those skills. I regularly integrate these mental training techniques into my lessons, allowing athletes to practice and internalize strategies that support their ability to regulate emotions, focus, and persevere under pressure.  

Although I have experience working with all age groups, my specialty lies in working with youth. Helping them navigate challenges with anxiety, anger, fear, panic attacks, and depression, has been especially meaningful for me.  I am also interested in men’s mental health, and am looking to facilitate group sessions for men aimed at exploring interpersonal relationships, self-image, self-worth, emotional expression, and relational awareness. My commitment and eagerness to learn new and promising ways to help people grow through adversity, is what led me to Life Process Transformation (LPT).  

As both a therapist and someone who has experienced therapy themselves, I truly believe that the solutions to many of life’s challenges lie within us, and that through silence and reflection, we can access the untapped insight, wisdom, and strength we already possess. This is the essence of Life Process Transformation.

Although I was already familiar with meditation and mindfulness before entering the program, I found that LPT applied these practices in a unique and deeply impactful way. As I worked through the LPT program, the questions posed to me expanded my self-awareness, while the Quiet Time allowed my wisdom to deepen—bringing forward thoughts, solutions, and insights that might never have surfaced otherwise. I’m not alone in this experience—others have expressed similar sentiments, some using almost the same words to describe their own transformation.  

If any of this resonates with you, I’d be happy to connect. I’m eager to welcome new clients and share the many benefits that the LPT program has to offer.  Whether you’re curious about LPT or simply seeking support, I’m here to help. Together with a team of diverse and skilled LPT practitioners, I welcome the opportunity to explore how Quiet Time and guided self-reflection can support your personal growth and well-being.
