We all have stuff to work through, and I’m no different. As someone who would’ve benefited from additional supports earlier in life, I’m especially passionate about engaging adults who are facing difficulties related to the impacts of childhood experiences (such as neglect, parental addiction, loss, bullying and other forms of trauma), as well as people of all ages navigating anxiety, life changes, self-worth, grief and burnout.

While I may be a self-proclaimed introvert, my cup has always been filled up by working closely with people, and I’ve learned the value of people-centered approaches with extensive time spent in the nonprofit sector, various leadership & teaching roles, and frontline community work. 

Through a grassroots organization I co-founded, I spent more than 15 years developing and leading trauma-informed programs and trainings within custody facilities and schools in the Greater Toronto Area. Before shifting to private therapy practice, I offered counselling at Lumenus Community Services (formerly Etobicoke Children’s Centre) and with Toronto-based nonprofit Hard Feelings.

Outside of work, I like to travel, write poetry, practice mindfulness movement & meditation, dance, and spend time with my loved ones & rescue pup. I currently divide my time between Toronto and Stratford, Ontario.
