About Me
Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO Registration #10893)
I've worked as a therapist for the past 12 years.
I hold a Master's Degree in Expressive Arts Therapy (EXAT) with a minor in Psychology. I'm also a graduate of The Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy (TIRP). and have trained in both Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and Internal Family Systems Therapy.
I'm a member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists (OSRP), and abide by its code of ethics.
Prior to opening private practice, I spent six years in children's mental health. At the former Integra Program at the Child Development Institute (an accredited Toronto agency serving clients with Learning Disabilities and mental health challenges), I facilitated their innovative martial arts-based therapeutic groups. Using my background as a 4th degree black belt in Karate and my skills as a psychotherapist, I helped run the Integra Mindfulness Martial Arts (MMA) and Young Warriors (YW) programs, 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, adolescents, couples, groups and families.
