Education, Accreditation & Experience

In good standing at the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and Canadian Association of Psychodynamic Therapy.  

5 year training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and 2 years of clinical experience during post graduate program. Valedictorian of graduation class, and Teaching Assistant.

I am trained in feminist counseling through the Assaulted Women’s and Children’s Counsellor Advocate Counselling Program, with a specialization in trauma-informed care. My approach centers on key principles such as prioritizing safety and stability, preventing re-traumatization, grief and anger work, and empowering individuals with the tools they need for healing and resilience. 

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on attachment-related emotional experiences. My approach fosters emotional regulation and self-awareness, empowering individuals to cultivate more secure attachment styles and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships with themselves and others.  Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) is designed to help couples identify and understand their relational patterns. It encourages partners to work together to address these dynamics, fostering connection and collaboration rather than conflict.  

Covered the foundational theories, concepts, and practical approaches in sex therapy. I learned to apply the bio-psycho-social model to address diverse sexual concerns, integrate trauma-informed care to support clients in navigating shame and boundaries, and develop tools to foster intimacy & communication, and to explore their desires, improve emotional connection, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
