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, am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), 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.
