I have a B.A. from Simon Fraser University in Psychology and Political Science, and an M.Ed. in Counselling Psychology from the University of Ottawa.  I am a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario (#009137).

 

Beyond my training at the University of Ottawa, I engage in ongoing professional development to advance my skills and knowledge as a mental health professional.  I have completed training related to trauma, sexuality, and anti-oppressive approaches.  I also have extensive training as a dancer, and I am exploring ways of more fully integrating the body into the therapeutic process.  I receive ongoing clinical supervision from another registered psychotherapist in Ontario, to ensure the quality of care I provide to clients.   

 

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist I worked for a number of years as a public servant on social programs for different levels of government across Canada.  During these years I had the great opportunity to serve and work with a diverse group of people, and learn from the stories and experiences they shared.
