not your average
therapist
In addition to being a Registered Psychotherapist, I'm also a Certified Life Coach, Early Childhood Educator & Certified Teacher, a Fitness Instructor, and mother of two exceptional humans.
But if you really want to get to know me, I'm actually just a typical person with an abstract mind. I self-identify as neurodiverse, and am an extremely out-of-the-box, forward thinker. This has allowed me to better understand all of my clients, especially those who are also neurodiverse or have special needs.
