About Me

My work in the field of mental health began in 2007 and I completed my Masters of Social Work at Carleton University in 2011. I spent the following decade working in the social services sector with children, youth, and adults from 2SLGBTQ+ communities. I opened my independent psychotherapy practice in 2021, and work with people who have all sorts of reasons for coming to therapy, including:

• Reclaiming their lives and bodies from trauma and chronic stress

• Exploring sexual, romantic, and gender identity

• (Re)Building relationships with their bodies and nervous systems

• Wanting more emotional regulation / capacity to be with emotions

• Navigating the world as a neurodivergent person

• Being impacted by anxiety, panic, depression, and sadness

• Feeling disconnected, numb, and shut down

• Sharing their lives with fatphobia, sizeism, and disordered eating

• Grieving and experiencing loss

I am a member in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and the Ontario Association of Social Workers, and seek regular supervision and consultation. I’ve also done extensive training around narrative approaches to therapy and working with trauma from a nervous system level through the Vancouver School of Narrative Therapy, the Narrative Therapy Centre, and Somatic Experiencing Ottawa.
