I am a Toronto-based Registered Psychotherapist, Art Therapist, and Canadian Certified Counsellor with over twelve years experience supporting youth, young adults and individuals who are pregnant, postpartum or parenting. I’m big on self-compassion, creative expression and giving yourself permission to feel your feelings.

I am currently accepting new clients and work with individuals virtually (phone/video) across Ontario.

I have two silly, wonderful kids who make me a better person and therapist. In my solo time, I love to get out for a bike ride, read, listen to podcasts and support my local roller derby scene.
