A bit more about Me 

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and Licensed Counselling Therapist (LCT). I graduated from the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy (TIRP) and have continued to expand my training in somatic and body-based approaches to therapy.
 

I am a Certified Functional & Therapeutic Breathwork Practitioner through Breath Body Therapy and am currently completing my training in Somatic Experiencing® through Somatic Experiencing® International, having completed the Intermediate 2 level. I also hold certificates in Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed Somatic Parts Work through The Embody Lab and the Fundamentals of Mindfulness through McMaster University.
 

I am a member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists and adhere to the professional practice standards of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and the College of Counselling Therapists of New Brunswick (CCTNB).
 

I hold a degree in Literature, as my passion has always been the examination and contemplation of what makes us human. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 15 years in the corporate world, where I gained a unique perspective on the challenges of balancing professional demands with relationships, creativity, and self-care.
 

I am committed to ongoing personal and professional growth. Self-reflection, yoga, breathwork, meditation, and time in nature are practices I value in my own life. I also have a lifelong love of music, particularly songwriting.
 

My practice is grounded in a compassionate, client-centred, anti-oppressive, and LGBTQ-affirming approach.
