I’m trained as an occupational therapist and psychotherapist with 14 years of experience in mental health. I hold a BA (Hons.) and BEd from Queen’s University, an MScOT from the University of Toronto, and a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Boston University. 

In therapy, I take an integrated approach, drawing on CBT, DBT, mindfulness, ACT, and MI. I have extensive experience with mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, psychosis, addictions, neurodiversity (ASD, ADHD) and complex mental illness. I’m also skilled in the areas of student mental health and work-related stress.

Professionally, I spent 13 years at a large Toronto mental health hospital in progressive roles including Clinician/Therapist, Advanced Practice Leader, Senior Manager, and Director of Interprofessional Practice. I currently serve in a senior leadership role at a downtown Toronto post-secondary institution, overseeing student care services. Since 2016, I’ve held status as an Adjunct Lecturer at U of T, where I bring my passion for teaching and mentorship into academic spaces. I have been honoured with multiple awards in clinical care, education, and leadership.

Outside of work, I’m an avid traveler, runner, tennis player, and outdoor

enthusiast.
