Our approach to therapy is founded in helping individuals find meaning and create change in their lives. We know that life isn’t always easy, and that asking for help is often the hardest step in the journey to greater life satisfaction. We want to ensure that in seeking help, you find and develop the skills and change you need to feel fulfilled and confident in yourself, your decisions, and your life. As a result, our therapeutic approach focuses on identifying and gaining insight into patterns of thought and behaviour which have left you feeling trapped, wherever you are in life. We aim to take an integrative and collaborative approach to therapy, focused on working together to help bring you closer to a life you feel fulfilled by through identifying values, exploring past relationships, and forming habits rooted in mindfulness and self-love. Our goal is to provide you with the support, skills, and knowledge you require to live your life to its fullest potential.

Through client-centred, collaborative, and holistic therapeutic approaches, we tailor each individual’s treatment to their unique needs and goals, using approaches based in evidence, like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Dialectic Behavioural Therapy (DBT), amongst others.

Affordable therapy is offered by our highly skilled intern therapist, who is in the final stage of their Master's program.

At YGK Psychotherapy, we believe in creating a space welcoming to and inclusive of all no matter your financial status.

Sometimes, life can begin to feel all too overwhelming. The transition to adulthood and the process of becoming comfortable with and knowledgeable of yourself is a lengthy and challenging one, at best. Add into the mix personal and external expectations of what life “should” look like, and you may find yourself feeling exhausted, stressing about areas of life in which you once felt most life yourself. Whether you’re in a transitionary period of life or simply seeking greater self-understanding, I am here to help and accompany you every step of the way.

I provide a safe and supportive space in which you can openly explore and increase insight into yourself, as well as gain skills and knowledge to face life and its challenges not only with confidence but with open arms. As a former high-performance athlete my approach is a holistic one, combining ACT and DBT with my own lived experience to provide a flexible, nonjudgemental, and balanced approach to therapy.

Together we’ll create a plan individualized to you, your strengths and skills, and your goals and values, to guide the therapeutic process in the direction most important to you. You are the expert of your own story; I am here simply to help you make sense of it in a perpetually-changing world, and am honoured to have such an opportunity.

My passion lies in helping individuals and families address concerns that are leading them to feel stressed, overwhelmed, or “stuck”, in the interest of moving towards a more positive and hopeful future. I am experienced in working with a number of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, traumatic stress, emotion-regulation issues, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and life transitions. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a specialized and evidence-based approach to working through trauma.

I am energetic, empathic, and provide a safe and non-judgmental space for self-exploration. I work from an integrative framework that draws from multiple therapeutic modalities in order to tailor my approach to your unique needs.
