I came to this work after many years as a Client, experiencing first-hand the transformative healing and personal growth that is possible through a supportive, trusting relationship with a Therapist.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and I hold a Dimploma from the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy. I bring over a decade of relevant clinical experience to my work, including a background in sexual and reproductive health counselling with a focus on abortion care, and full-spectrum Doula work, in addition to my work with private practice Therapy Clients. Above that clinical experience and my rigorous academic training I consider my 25+ years of experience as a Therapy Client myself to be the most valuable thing I bring to working with my own Clients.

I also hold an Honours BA in Gender and Women’s Studies with a Minor in Creative Writing, as well as a Certificate in Sexuality Studies, from York University. My post-secondary education also includes training in the Fine Arts, and I am currently enrolled in the University of British Columbia’s Creative Writing MFA program with a focus on Poetry and Fiction writing. I am passionately interested in the ways creativity intersects with emotional health and wellbeing, and I love supporting clients to connect more deeply to their own creativity.

I am forever in awe of the human capacity for connection and creativity even under the most difficult circumstances. I believe walking in the woods helps most things. I am Neurodivergent (ADHD), a single parent to two young children, devoted friend, avid reader and writer, and passionate music lover.

Like every one of us I am an endless work-in-progress with my own challenges, tender spots, and growing edges. I strive to maintain personal growth and continue to build on my therapeutic skills through ongoing work with my own therapist, clinical and peer supervision, professional workshops, and self-education.

In addition to registration with CRPO I am a member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists and the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy.
