My Story:

 I am a Registered Psychotherapist licensed with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I have worked in health care for 20 years. I started my career as a registered radiation technologist and worked in major hospitals such as Sick Kids and University Health Network. During my time working as a front-line health care worker, I started to notice many of my patients’ physical ailments are acutely associated with their struggle with mental and social health. They all desire for comprehensive healing and wellness that involve all aspects of their lives. It sparked my interest to explore and study the human conditions and psychology.

Experience:

On the journey of healing with my clients, I take on the role of a sojourner and coach. My clients are the expert of themselves. Through reflection and self-discovery, we uncover untapped wisdom, reservoirs, and strength that have always been there. We learn skills and emotional tools to manifest discovered beauty and strength. With new insights, perspectives, emotional schema, and understanding, clients summit at a place where hope, possibilities, and freedom exist.

  • University of Toronto Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy Externship, International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT)
  • York Univeristy EFT Level 1 Summer Institute
