About
I believe in bringing the body into therapy. I strive to bring openness, curiosity, and compassion to my work with adults and couples. My work focuses on the relationship between the body and mental health, specifically chronic illness, life-limiting illness, and substance use. I also work with people living with anxiety and depression, as well as those navigating life transitions.
I have had an indirect path to doing what I do, and this means that I draw on many influences and experiences in my practice. Before starting my path to social work, I was a creative arts therapist, a teacher and an actor. I worked for several years in a cancer clinic at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, before returning to school to study the relationship between mental health and exercise.
I am licensed in the provinces of British Columbia and in Quebec. I currently offer virtual sessions for those in BC and am available in person in Montreal. with a PhD in Social Work (University of Ottawa), a Master of Social Work (University of Ottawa) and a Master of Creative Arts Therapies (Concordia University).
