Hi, I’m a Counselling Psychology Practicum Student practicing under the supervision of Dr. Kingsbury with a Bachelor of Arts in Sports Psychology. I have a special interest in athlete mental performance and mental health, working with clients age 12+ to navigate the unique challenges that come with the world of high-performance—including performance anxiety, identity transitions, motivation, and recovery after setbacks.
I aim to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate strategies that strengthen both mental health and performance. I also welcome anyone looking for support with stress, self-confidence, or finding balance in daily life.
In our work together, I strive to create a space that feels supportive, collaborative, and genuine. I believe therapy works best when you feel heard and understood, so my approach is warm, down-to-earth, and tailored to your unique goals. Together, we can explore practical tools and new perspectives to help you feel more grounded, resilient, and empowered both in and out of your performance.

I received my doctorate degree in clinical psychology (Ph.D.) at the University of Ottawa, and currently hold a license for autonomous clinical practice with the College of Psychologists of Ontario.
I am a former Olympic coach (PyeongChang, 2018), and hold the designation of Chartered Professional Coach (ChPC) with the Coaching Association of Canada (NCCP#: 60823280).
I provide assessment and psychotherapy services in English. I focus much of my clinical practice on providing services to those working in health care (i.e., physicians, nurses, other regulated health professionals), government, as well as providing services for high performance athletes, and those in the creative arts (musicians, actors, visual artists, etc.).
I have a passion to help people explore their motivations, increase their awareness and overall levels of focus, attention, and concentration. Although I have a special interest in working with elite athletes, I believe that a strengths-based approach rooted in the principles of high-performance are directly applicable to all of us in our daily lives. Whether one is working in a demanding profession, an athlete, or any individual desiring to make a behavioural change – there is limitless potential in all to self-examine, focus on what is truly important, and live meaningful lives guided by personal values.

I offer an evidence-based, collaborative approach to therapy focused on helping you clarify your priorities
and take meaningful steps towards the life you want. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be getting
in the way—gently examining how these serve(d) a function, and how they may no longer be serving you
or your current goals. My approach emphasizes small cycles of experimentation, reflective observation,
progress tracking improve memory of the behaviours resulting in your desired outcomes and making
adjustments over time.
Grounded in positive psychology, mindfulness, neuroscience, and compassion-focused therapy, our work will highlight your existing motivation, strengths, build mastery of attention, and celebrate progress. Because a therapeutic alliance is a powerful factor for change, I welcome you to book a free consultation to explore our potential fit and ask any questions you may have.
