Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying)
Clinical counselling Intern
Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist
​
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and I’m in the final stages of completing my Master of Arts in Counselling
Psychology. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as an educator, earning a Master’s in Education and a Bachelor’s in Science.
My teaching background, especially with special needs and culturally inclusive programs, gave me valuable experience working with teens, young adults, and families. I’ve worked with people navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism, selective mutism, identity struggles, and trauma. Those experiences have helped me develop a deep understanding of neurodiversity and the unique challenges that come with it.
I also integrate mindfulness and somatic techniques from my yoga training, and I’ve completed Level 1 training in the Gottman Method for couples therapy.
No matter what you’re facing, my goal is to create a safe and inclusive space where you feel supported and understood as we work together to help you find balance, healing, and resilience.

​Embracing Diversity and Inclusivity in Psychotherapy
A BIPOC Therapist's Perspective: Integrating Cultural Sensitivity
As BIPOC therapists, we acutely aware of the nuances of oppression, marginalization, patriarchy and racism. Our approach to psychotherapy is inclusive and tailored to each client's unique needs, ensuring that these critical conversations are part of the therapeutic process.
​
We are particularly dedicated to aiding those in caregiving roles, including frontline workers, therapists and other caregivers. Our work often involves guiding them through issues like compassion fatigue and burnout, offering support to those who are accustomed to supporting others.
