I Am Passionate About Helping People Find Their Voice And Become Who They Want To Be
I consider it an honour to hear about people’s journeys and walk alongside them through times of joy and times of pain.
I am an experienced and licensed psychotherapist based in Waterloo, Ontario. In addition to being a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, I am a member of the Financial Therapy Association as well as the Canadian Society of Clinical Hypnosis. I am also a member of the Ontario College of Teachers. As a member of the Family Firm Institute, I earned a certificate in Family Wealth Advising. I have also acquired training on a wide range of therapeutic and relational approaches in close to 25 years of professional experience.
I primarily meet with clients virtually.
My Approach To The growth Process
I specialise in providing services to Ultra High Net Worth Individuals and family members. My hope is to provide a safe space for clients to share financial wealth struggles or frustrations, identify strategies, and rediscover their voice and confidence. Living healthier and even more fulfilling lives is one of the goals.
Individuals living with significant financial wealth often face unique challenges that the majority of the population is simply unable to relate to. This can result in feelings of isolation and desperation, particularly when family members or friends believe there is “nothing to complain about” or act like you arenot allowed to have problems. Of course, the wealthy, like anyone else, are never immune to relationship issues or mental health challenges. In fact, these issues are often amplified multi-fold for high-net-worth individuals.
My practice and sessions are a judgment-free zone. I work with the LGBTQ+ & BIPOC communities - and anyone who feels ostracized by our culture. Absolutely all are welcome, regardless of background. This also includes those identify more with the majority.
No matter what your background is and what your struggles are, We can work towards helping you to thrive. You will have the opportunity to see and approach things in new and refreshing ways. Imagine allowing yourself to take charge of your life and positively impact the people around you.
