I’ve been a Registered Psychotherapist since 2015 and have worked in the human services field for more than 20 years. I began my career after completing a Child and Youth Worker diploma at St. Lawrence College in 2002, supporting young people in group homes, foster care, and youth justice settings.

While completing my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Carleton University, I moved into hospital-based work as a Child and Youth Counsellor, first on an adolescent psychiatry unit and later within specialized inpatient and outpatient eating disorders programs within a children’s hospital.

I then worked as an Addictions Counsellor in a community-based organization supporting high school students and young adults. Over time, I also took on leadership roles providing clinical supervision to youth and young adult teams and contributing to the development of supports for individuals experiencing both eating and substance use difficulties.

After completing my Master’s in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University in 2017, I worked as an Addiction Therapist in a residential treatment program before transitioning into post-secondary counselling, where I now provide mental health counselling and psychotherapy to both emerging and mature adults. I also provide clinical supervision for Master’s-level counselling interns.

In my private practice, I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy, as well as clinical supervision.
