About Me
I believe in everyone's innate ability to grow, to heal, and to thrive, if only given the chance. As your therapist, I'm here to create the space and the opportunity for your own inner wisdom to emerge.
I aim to create a soft, gentle landing place for you to unpack your emotions, thoughts, wishes, and experiences. Where you can laugh as much as you cry, and where you can feel truly seen.
I invite you to explore your most private thoughts, your painful memories, and your deepest sense of self, all while knowing you are cared for and not judged. I can be serious and compassionate, and I can also be silly and playful. I love to explore metaphor and stories, and I aim to connect emotions and experiences to the body and its intuitive knowing. I am trauma-informed, feminist, and anti-racist in my approach. I work with teenagers (14+) and adults.

Years of Practice:
Qualifications
I completed a Master's of Social Work (MSW) at the University of Toronto in 2015, and before that, a Bachelor's in Psychology.
I have worked across several settings and populations, including university students, children and families, and adults of all ages.
I have since done several trainings to continue to grow in competency. Some of the most relevant of these are:
- Sensorimotor Psychotherapy for Trauma Themes (Level 1) - Focusing on the body; learning to listen to the messages we're receiving, and use the body with intention to feel better.
- The Frontier of Social Justice: Cross-Cultural Compassion in Clinical Practice - Applying a therapy lens to Anti-Racism and how to better support BIPOC clients.
- Emotion Focused Therapy - Working with emotional blocks and avoidance of emotions.
I am currently in the process of completing my Sensorimotor Psychotherapy for Developmental Injury (Level 2).
I also have experience with the following modalities:
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
- DBT (Dialectic Behaviour Therapy)
- Narrative Therapy
- Relational Therapy
