I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). While my focus is in trauma and trauma-related issues, my background is in forensic mental health. I worked in mental health departments in the federal correctional system for 5 years, where I cut my teeth working with a variety of different people and mental health issues. During that time, I also provided crisis support to frontline workers and first responders following traumatic events.

 

Following that, I completed the practicum for my Masters degree at the Sexual Assault Centre Kingston, working with survivors of childhood and adult sexualized violence. Throughout my education and work experience, I've supported clients with many different challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, anger, emotion regulation, sexual violence, PTSD, and more. ​​

​

My goal is to make therapy and the therapeutic space comfortable and safe for everyone by honouring your unique intersectional identity and how it plays an essential role in your experiences, worldview, and mental health. 

​

In my personal life, I am a volunteer firefighter with Loyalist Township and an avid forager. My experience as a first responder helps to inform my approach and understanding of other first responder clients, including their unique experiences and needs. My love of the outdoors and nature also finds its way into my work through an integration of nature-centered mindfulness techniques.
