About Me

I am a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist. I earned my Master of Social Work at the University of Toronto and my Bachelor of Arts in Honours Psychology at the University of Ottawa.

In my free time, I love adventuring outside with my daughter, reading and discussing books, crocheting, practicing yoga, and am forever trying to turn my jogs into runs.

My Professional Background

Before moving into private practice, I built my clinical skills in prominent pediatric, mental health, and educational settings across Toronto. My public-sector experience includes working as a School Social Worker at the Toronto District School Board and as a Child and Family Therapist at the SickKids Centre for Community Mental Health (formerly the Hincks-Dellcrest Centre), where I also completed my social work fellowship. I have held similar clinical roles at Kinark Child and Family Services and provided research support at Holland-Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital.

My Approach

Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique goals and needs:

  • Understanding Thoughts & Emotions: Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to examine the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours while building practical tools to manage strong emotions.

  • Exploring Your Narrative: Narrative Therapy and Parts-Work help us untangle the stories you tell about yourself, examine formative experiences, and find your chosen path forward.

  • Healing at the Root: Grounded in Attachment and Emotion-Focused Therapies to help you make sense of where you’ve come from, process deep-rooted emotions, and navigate how your past experiences shape your present relationships and daily life.
