More about me:
I first began my career as a Registered Dietitian specializing in eating disorders, disordered eating and body image, then soon found my passion for mental health and discovered my strength in connecting with others. My master's thesis combined my passion and experience in nutrition and mental health by exploring the interplay between ADHD symptoms, interoceptive awareness and intuitive eating. I enjoy learning and I am dedicated to ongoing professional development to provide my clients with ethical and evidenced-based care.
I understand my client's challenges through an attachment, somatic and humanistic lens, meaning that we take the time to understand the impact of your past and current experiences to help you move through them. My intention is to hold a warm and welcoming space for you to present yourself authentically and unapologetically. I know that therapy can be vulnerable, uncomfortable and challenging for some. I am here with you every step of the way without judgment, and together, we collaborate to work towards your goals.
Aside from being a therapist, you can find me dancing or moving in some capacity, while enjoying my favourite food of all time (Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough ice cream).
