About Me

​

My path to becoming a psychotherapist was not a straight line. It emerged through many years of life experience, teaching, parenting, and a growing recognition of the importance of empathy, connection, and meaningful relationships.

​

Before entering the field of psychotherapy, I taught Sociology at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) and spent several years as a stay-at-home parent raising my three children. During this period of mid-life transition, I felt a strong pull toward psychotherapy—a profession that deeply reflected my values and my belief in the importance of human connection.

​

I trained for several years at the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy (TIRP) and have been practicing as a psychotherapist in Toronto since 2012. In 2019, I returned to TIRP as an instructor, where I now provide Relational Clinical Supervision while continuing my psychotherapy practice.

​

My own experiences across different stages of life have shaped how I understand change, relationships, and the challenges we all encounter. I bring curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for each person's unique story to my work with clients.
