Hello!
MY NAME IS
It's so nice to meet you! I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and the founder of Restoring Harmony Counselling and Wellnes.
I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating the emotional weight of trauma, anxiety, and depression, especially those who have been carrying it silently for years.
My approach is rooted in Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), along with other evidence-based practices that support emotional regulation, emotional procesing and long-term healing. Whether you're feeling stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to begin, I'll meet you where you are and help you gently reconnect with your sense of self. You don't have to keep holding it all together alone. Healing is possible and you deserve the support to get there.
To be honest, counselling was never part of my original plan. I was raised to be “strong”, the kind of strong that meant burying emotions and pushing through no matter what. Vulnerability wasn’t encouraged; survival was. Maybe that sounds familiar to you, too.
​I started my career working with children and youth in a variety of settings such as schools, a crisis program, a child centre and a group home. Over time, the stories I heard and the pain I witnessed began to mirror something in me. My own unresolved hurt, combined with the emotional weight of the work, became too heavy to carry alone and I knew there was more to life. Quietly and reluctantly I sought out counselling for myself. It was uncomfortable at first, but it began to help.
​As I looked to grow personally and professionally, I pursued a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. During my clinical placement, I had the opportunity to work with adults living with complex trauma, primarily first responders and veterans. I witnessed firsthand the profound, life-changing impact therapy could have, not only for others, but for myself.
​The experience in my clinical placement inspired a full career shift. For the past six years, I’ve been honored to walk alongside those carrying deep emotional pain, offering compassionate, evidence-based care to help them reconnect with themselves and create meaningful change
I've Lived it Too!
I’ve devoted much of my adult life to understanding and healing my trauma, pain rooted in childhood, teenage years, and adulthood. I believe it’s important for you to know, I’ve lived it too,​
I know the weight of feeling alone, lost, helpless, stuck, overwhelmed, and entirely exhausted. I know what it’s like to have to make myself small just to get by, to feel disconnected from friends and family, to dread social interaction and to lose all passion for work and the things that once brought me joy. I’ve lived through nightmares, flashbacks, relentless hypervigilance, difficulty being present, and countless sleepless nights. I was surviving, not truly living.
Deep down, I knew there had to be more. I took a leap and began my own healing journey. I continue to prioritize my growth everyday, because while we can't always control what happens in the world, we can choose how we meet our pain with compassion, curiosity, and care.
