I have worked in the areas of mental health and community development since 2014. Through working with children, families, and diverse communities, I have seen how deeply our relationships, environments, and social contexts can shape our emotional lives. I completed my Master of Social Work at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto and became a Registered Social Worker in 2023.

My work has spanned hospital and community-based settings, where I have supported individuals and families navigating a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. At present, I concurrently work in community-based child and youth mental health, where I support young kids and their caregivers facing challenges related to developmental and acute trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, FASD, ADHD and ASD, and more.

Beyond my professional experience, I am guided to this work by my lived experiences. For many years, I dealt with crippling anxiety that was often overlooked and misunderstood, and reached a point where moving through daily life felt overwhelmingly difficult. As things began to feel more unbearable, I was fortunate enough to connect with a thoughtful, compassionate therapist who helped me feel seen, understood, and who supported me in making sense of the experiences that had shaped me. Through this work, I was able to see things slowly begin to shift and move in new, positive directions.

I know how heavy it can feel to move through challenges that are not always visible to or understood by others, and how impactful it is to be met with care that feels attuned to your specific experiences. I would be honoured to offer this support to you.
