About Me

IMG_0465_edited_edited.jpg

Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO Registration #10893)

I hold a Master's Degree in Expressive Arts Therapy (EXAT) with a minor in Psychology. I am also a graduate of  
The Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy (TIRP), a psychotherapy training program accredited by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I am a member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists (OSRP) and abide by its code of ethics. I am also trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples  and am a member of the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT)

 



Prior to opening private practice, I spent six years working in children's mental health.  At the former Integra Program at the Child Development Institute (an accredited children’s mental health agency that provides evidence-informed, therapeutic programs and services to children and families who are dealing with mental health issues complicated by Learning Disabilities), I facilitated their innovative martial arts-based therapeutic groups - Integra Mindfulness Martial Arts (MMA) and Young Warriors (YW) - which combined martial arts training with mindfulness meditation, yoga, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and body-based emotion regulation techniques.  

Prior to my time at Integra, I spent three years at the Sick Kids Centre for Community Mental Health (SKCCMH) serving children and families with a variety of social, emotional and behavioural challenges via Psychodynamic Play Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy and Group Therapy.  

My eclectic background allows for me to work with a wide range of individuals, couples, groups and families. 

The basis for my private practice work with adults is Relational Therapy.
