About Me
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) licensed in Ontario, specializing in Jungian and archetypal psychology.
My style as a therapist is present, curious, warm, non-judgmental, challenging, and intuitive. I strive to be open and respectful toward the diverse cultural backgrounds and identities of my clients.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked for over 10 years in strategy and management roles within the corporate sector. I hold a BA in Film Studies from Western University and an MBA from Ivey Business School.
During my corporate career, I struggled with a sense that something essential was missing. After having recurring performance anxiety attacks at work, I sought out therapy for myself. I learned that my anxiety was the tip of the iceberg, with deeper issues around insecurity, identity, and disconnection from purpose.
Since then, my personal journey has involved extensive study in depth psychology, spirituality, and mythology, as well as developing personal practices that help me stay centered and connected — including writing, yoga, meditation, and spending time in nature.
I also have extensive experience using psychedelic plant medicines within shamanic, ceremonial contexts. In 2015, I attended my first ayahuasca retreat in the Peruvian Amazon. In 2017, I returned for a three-month volunteer program supporting over 100 retreat participants. These retreats emphasized group sharing circles that fostered deep openness and healing, which inspired me to work at this level of depth with others.
In 2020, I earned a diploma in Existential-Integrative Psychotherapy from the Living Institute in Toronto.
I am currently a graduate student in the MA/PhD program in Depth Psychology with a specialization in Jungian and Archetypal Studies at Pacifica Graduate Institute. The Jungian and archetypal orientation is not merely concerned with symptom alleviation or becoming better adapted to your external situation, but with personality development and working through difficult inner conflicts.
