I am a clinical psychologist and Certified Emotion Focused Therapist. I am especially interested helping others turn, with gentle curiosity, toward the parts of themselves that hurt.
I know the deep healing that happens when we are fully seen. When we can exhale in the presence of genuine care. I am honoured to walk beside folks as they come to know themselves in new ways.
This is a place to be fully human. Together.
I hold a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology from the University of Toronto and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Ottawa, a Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) accredited program. I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with the College of Psychologists and Behavioural Analysis of Ontario (CPBAO).
Throughout my training, I had the privilege of working across a wide range of settings including university counselling centres, tertiary care hospitals, addiction and mental health centres, and private practice. These included the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre in Halifax, the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre (ROMHC) and the Centre for Psychological Services and Research (CPSR) at the University of Ottawa. I completed my residency training across two CPA accredited sites (CPSR and ROMHC), followed by a year of supervised practice at ROMHC.
After completing my training, I joined the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre as a staff psychologist, working within the Operational Stress Injury program, before transitioning to private practice.
This breadth of experience has given me a deep respect for the many ways people come to struggle, and the many different forms that healing can take.
I am a gardener, a baker, a runner, and a reader. I find deep pleasure in making things, whether that is a meal, a floral arrangement, or a page of writing. I am sustained by time with the people I love, and the joy of discovering the world together.
When you're ready, I'd be glad to connect. We'll start with a free 15-minute consultation, so I can understand your needs, and you can see if this feels like the right fit.
