I integrate approaches from various leading schools of thought into my counselling and psychotherapy work including contemporary relational and psychodynamic psychotherapies, parts/ego-state approaches, Deep Brain Reorienting, somatic psychotherapies, EMDR, Havening Techniques, feminist, anti-oppressive, attachment and trauma-focussed approaches, hypnosis, cognitive behavioural, expressive arts approaches and mindfulness and compassion-based perspectives. My work is informed by current and emerging neuroscience and its applications for embodied clinical work. As a lifelong learner, I have pursued extensive training in support of my work in end of life and bereavement care and with those affected by trauma, complex trauma and dissociative disorders.
I honour the lived experience of systemic oppressions that impact the lives of many individuals across a range of personal identities, and recognize my own social location in my work with clients.

I hold a undergraduate degree in English Literature and Women's Studies from McGill University, a Master’s degree in Social Work with a Certificate in Palliative and Supportive Care from the University of Toronto and a graduate diploma in Expressive Arts Therapy from CREATE (Toronto). I also spent a year at OCAD and have been a mindfulness practitioner for over two decades.
Based in Toronto, I hold nearly two decades of experience working in both private practice and various paediatric, youth and adult health, mental health, and palliative care settings, including over a decade working as a grief and palliative care counsellor with the Dr. Jay Children's Grief Centre and six years at the Hospital for Sick Children.
