From a young age, I've been fascinated by human behaviour, constantly seeking to unravel the mystery of why people act the way they do. This lifelong curiosity, coupled with a deep passion for helping others, is what led me to pursue a career as a therapist.
I earned my Honours Bachelor’s Degree (BA) in Psychology from York University and a Masters Degree in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Toronto. These educational milestones equipped me with the very knowledge I once sought - the theoretical insights and science behind human behaviour, along with evidence-based approaches that help facilitate meaningful life changes.
Since 2014, I've been dedicated to supporting individuals navigate and overcome a wide array of life's challenges. These include (but are not limited to): interpersonal conflicts, life transitions (i.e. job changes, divorce/separation) parenting stress, mood-related struggles, coping with grief/loss, and beyond. My practice intentionally encompasses a broad spectrum, enriched by my diverse experiences across clinical, legal, and academic settings.
Think of me as a “lifestyle therapist," I am committed to providing support to individuals grappling with any challenge that affects their well-being and interferes with their desired way of living.
When I am not supporting clients, I am spending time with my husband, two young children, and pup.
Travelling has always been a passion of mine as I love to soak in different cultures and understand how different communities experience life and overcome adversity. I feel very fortunate that I have been able to travel all over the world but since becoming a parent, this has been a difficult aspect of my life to keep up. Trips outside of Toronto will look a bit different now, but I do have itineraries in mind for the future. I love being inspired by my clients' travel adventures and future plans.
Life is stressful and through my own therapy journey, I have learned what I need to de-compress after long and difficult days. For me, its exercise and playing sports. Since I was a child, I loved participating on my school's volleyball and baseball team. Little did I know that this would continue into my adult life and be what keeps me healthy both physically and mentally. These activities also help me show up for my clients and provide the best standard of care.
Now, you might wonder: with so many qualified therapists out there, why should you choose me? It's a valid question and one that I address uniquely for each client.
I tailor my support to your specific concerns, needs, and goals. While I don't provide a one-size-fits all approach, I can promise that our collaborative journey will leave you with a deeper understanding of yourself and the tools that could help you manage life's twists and turns more confidently.
