I came to the field of psychology after having had careers that were successful but not

fulfilling. Over time I thought long and hard, and decided to embark on a journey that I

had never before allowed myself to consider: psychology. I have been described as

passionate, intense, and deeply engaged. I know the pain and joy that comes from

having made choices that have drastically changed my life, from changing continents to

changing careers. I will hold space as you move toward seeing yourself more clearly,

make hard decisions when you need to, and become the person that exists peacefully

with your life.

When I’m not doing therapy, my nose can be found buried deep in books about different

places, cultures, and personal transformation.

I hold degrees and diplomas in fields ranging from Environmental Science and

International Development to Accounting, and I have over a decade of project

management experience in various institutions. Related to psychology, I hold an

Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Toronto, and I am

completing a Master’s in Psychology in Clinical Psychology from Adler Graduate

Professional School in Toronto. I work under the supervision of the founder of Accord

Psychology, Dr. Melodie Lemay-Gaulin, C.Psych.

My style in the therapy room is reflective, exploratory, and analytical. I balance

connection and positive regard with clear communication and a desire to uncover the

truth of your experience, even when it is uncomfortable. I work to create a space that is

safe, intellectually and emotionally playful, and rooted in curiosity. I believe that we are

our best selves when we more fully know ourselves, and I hope to build that experience

with you.

My approach to therapy is based in psychodynamic thought; I believe that it is important

to understand how your history impacts you, and how your early relationships shape

how you view and interact with the world. I also make use of existential ideas to reflect

on the big questions in life, and humanistic theory to make sense of the emotional world

that you and I inhabit during our time together. Put simply, I want to sit together with you

in the therapy room and build an understanding of you and your life in as deep and

profound of a way as we can. By nature, this is reflective, exploratory, and long-term

work.
