I’m a trauma specialist with 16 years of clinical experience and learning to share with you. In my practice, I use a relational, emotion-focused approach as my foundation as well as various somatic modalities: Somatic Internal Family Systems, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Brainspotting, and Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment. 

I have worked in hospitals, non-profits, and, for the last several years, in private practice. I came to psychotherapy through the spiritual care route: I did a Master of Divinity at U of T with a focus on the spiritual care of people with severe mental illness, followed by a year of intensive relational psychotherapy training in hospitals (known as Clinical Pastoral Education, or CPE). 

My special interest for the first several years of my career, and the topic of my Master’s thesis, was spiritual care for people experiencing psychosis. I went on to work as a Spiritual Care Provider in a general hospital, where my main focuses were psychiatry (inpatient and outpatient), palliative care, and supporting parents through miscarriage and stillbirth. In later years, I worked in community mental health in inner city boarding homes. My inner city work impressed upon me the severe and lifelong effects that trauma can have, so I developed a specialization in trauma, leaving the non-profit world for private practice during the pandemic.
