Philosophy
I’m a dedicated psychotherapist in training, deeply committed to helping you achieve mental well-being through evidence-based approaches. My primary focus is nurturing a strong and trusting client-therapist relationship, which is fundamental for positive change and emotional healing.
I offer a warm, empathetic, and compassionate counselling style, grounded in three proven therapeutic modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps identify and modify negative thought patterns; Person-Centered Therapy, which places you at the centre of your journey, emphasizing self-acceptance and personal growth; and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a goal-oriented approach focused on immediate changes to alleviate distress and enhance functioning.
My approach with clients is that of a curious and non-judgmental stance, recognizing that everyone has a unique path that has led them to the present moment. Understanding and respecting your individuality are essential to therapeutic outcomes. With a flexible, integrative, and collaborative approach, my aim is to tailor therapy to your unique needs, reduce distress, and empower you to find happiness, balance, health, and well-being.

I do regular Supervision/consultation with Alyssa Bonneville, Registered Psychotherapist, for the ongoing development of my professional and ethical expertise and to discuss client concerns in a confidential manner. The receipt the client will receive will be in the name of my Supervisor, who is a Registered Psychotherapist in the Province of Ontario. The receipts of a Registered Psychotherapist in the province of Ontario are acceptable by most insurance companies (eg. Sunlife). It is the client’s responsibility to determine whether this receipt is acceptable for your workplace benefits and insurance.
The regular fee for interns counselling is $100.00 per hour session.
