I am most at peace in nature, soaking up fresh air, sunshine, and any excuse to be by the water. When I’m not in multi-tasking mom-life or work mode, you’ll usually find me listening to a podcast or audiobook diving into ideas at the intersection of psychology, science, and spirituality. I love getting creative with my son (there’s usually paint, paper, and a bit of chaos), and whenever possible I make time for hiking, yoga, and singing (usually in the shower, but still good for the soul). Most of all, what lights me up is time with family/friends, adventures with our pup, and traveling to places that fill the heart and spark curiosity.
I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being. -Rumi

Therapy should feel like an exhale: shoulders drop, nervous system settles, and you get room to be human. I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening inside and between you, and build changes that actually last: steadier moods, clearer boundaries, kinder self-talk, and relationships that feel safer.
I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Toronto and am a Registered Social Worker, as well as a member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). My approach is attachment-based and trauma-informed, meaning we honour your nervous system while we go to the roots. I draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), not as a checklist, but as a flexible toolkit we tailor to you.
Clients often come to me for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, identity questions, relationship strain, and workplace stress. At this time, I’m focused on practice leadership and am not accepting new therapy clients. If you’re seeking care, our intake team at Beaches Therapy Group can match you with a therapist whose training and availability align with your goals so you can feel seen, feel safe, and feel better. I continue to offer clinical supervision and case consultation.
