I completed a Master of Social Work through the University of Windsor. I studied Linguistics at the University of Toronto completing a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in 2004.
From 2001 to 2007, I was a student at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto. During this time I completed four years of training in Gestalt Theory & Methodology and Gestalt therapy & group work. I have completed the Basic EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training.
I have additional learning in Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I have a special interest in somatic therapies and mind-body connection.
As a Registered Social Worker, I have worked in community, hospital, and virtual setting in various roles – crisis worker, guided therapist, harm reduction specialist, and mental health clinician.
Prior to entering the mental health and wellness field, I worked as a childcare provider for nearly 10 years.
In addition to offering psychotherapy, I work in the mental health and addictions program at an urban, community hospital.
