Description
About Me I offer a unique perspective in therapy, blending a passion for learning, a deep love for gardening, and a belief in nature’s healing power. As a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), I am committed to providing compassionate, nonjudgmental support to help you heal, grow, and achieve your goals. I believe the therapeutic alliance—the relationship between therapist and client—is the foundation of successful therapy. Together, we will work collaboratively to create a safe, trusting environment where you feel heal.
