As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I am licensed with the CRPO and currently in private supervised practice. Since 2018, I’ve supported clients as a certified professional coach (PCC) and mindfulness meditation teacher.
I have a background in healthcare, as a former Chiropractor. I have training and experience working with clients navigating various concerns, including (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, anger, trauma and PTSD, challenging family and relationship dynamics, ADHD and neurodiversity, job loss or workplace stress, hormonal-related mood changes, fertility challenges, chronic pain, complex health challenges, anti-semitism and intergenerational trauma. Therapy with me is a collaborative process that provides a supportive space to slow down, notice how you feel, gain clarity about what patterns might be keeping you stuck, and begin to implement shifts in your life to create meaningful change.
I am a dedicated meditation practitioner/student, and I welcome clients who are facing challenges in integrating retreat experiences and meditation practice with the stress of life, or meditators who are finding that their practice has become flat, boring, or challenging.
I provide a collaborative space to discover what “feeling better” means to you, and I provide support to guide you in taking small, practical steps toward achieving your therapeutic goals.

My training is grounded in mindfulness and somatic-based therapies that are neuro-inclusive and trauma-sensitive. While I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, I work closely with you to tailor therapy to meet your specific needs.
During our sessions, we won't "just talk"; we will use your experiences and challenges to begin experimenting with new ways of thinking and acting, and in time, you will feel more confident and empowered to carry these changes forward - one small step at a time.
I hold a doctorate degree in Chiropractic from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Toronto. I have training in a number of modalities that are trauma-sensitive and inclusive for neurodivergence, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Focusing-Oriented Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Integrative Somatic Trauma Approaches.

Many healthcare insurance providers will cover the services I provide. I recommend checking your benefits plan to determine if you have coverage for a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) to see what your plan covers before starting therapy. I provide a detailed receipt that can be submitted directly to your insurance provider if your plan provides coverage for my services.
-
I require at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule your session. If you cancel within 24 hours or miss your appointment time, you will be charged the full session fee.
-
I accept credit card as payment and require a valid credit card on file at all times.
I do not do direct billing for insurance. I issue receipts for services as soon as payment is received and these receipts should be submitted by you to get insurance reimbursement.

All you need to book a consultation is to provide your name, contact email and a phone number. Consultations are approximately 20-30 minutes and are done virtually.
Consultations are an opportunity for you to give me a sense of what type of support you are looking for and for you to get a sense of my approach and experience. It is an opportunity for both of us to determine if it feels like a right fit to move forward to work together.
