MY Path
Years ago, during a health consultation, I was asked a trauma-related question that led me to reflect on the connection of the mind and body. I didn’t have the words for it then—it completely confounded me. Yet, it stayed with me.
As soon as I returned home, I opened my laptop and began researching trauma and the body. That search led me—somewhat serendipitously—back to a page I’d visited years before: the website of a Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) program. At the time, someone had suggested that I may be interested in this body-based therapeutic modality. It didn’t fully land at the time, but looking back, it feels as though the idea sat quietly in the back of my mind, waiting patiently for me to return to it. Now, I was having a big “aha” moment.
MY Practice
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist, Dance/Movement Psychotherapist, Certified Reiki Master, facilitator, and consultant based in the Greater Toronto Area.
My therapeutic approach is client-centred and trauma-informed, grounded in a relational and anti-oppressive framework that honours your lived experience and supports collaborative meaning-making. As a holistic practitioner, I integrate talk therapy, somatic modalities, expressive arts, and psycho-spiritual practices to support healing across mind, body, and spirit.
