OTR/L, OT Reg. (Ont.) | occupational therapist | holistic care

My approach is rooted in occupational therapy and psychology, providing a lens to see the full picture of your well-being. Together, we look at how different aspects of your life, including thoughts, habits, routines and relationships, interconnect rather than addressing challenges in isolation.

Through this holistic perspective, we uncover patterns, identify root causes and create a growth plan that feels practical and sustainable. The aim is to develop practices that can be integrated into your daily life, supporting balance, alignment and meaningful change.

This work is not just about reflecting on the past or addressing challenges in isolation. It is about connecting the dots and fostering meaningful change that supports your mental, emotional and physical wellness. Sessions are offered both virtually and in person, so support can happen in the way that feels most natural.

my story

My background in psychology deepened my appreciation for emotion and connection. I wanted to support not just understanding, but how people live through their experiences. Occupational therapy provided that bridge, connecting mind, body, and daily life.

I believe healing happens through “doing”, in how we move, rest, connect, and engage with the world around us.

professional background

I’ve worked in both public and private healthcare settings, including The Hospital for Sick Children, Etobicoke General Hospital, the Family Psychology Centre in Toronto, and an early childhood intervention clinic in downtown Los Angeles.

My work has centred on early childhood intervention, neurodivergent needs including Autism and ADHD, and mental health, supporting clients across the lifespan from infants and toddlers to adults through emotional, developmental, and relational challenges. This has included hands-on support for young children with developmental delays and Autism, caregiver coaching, work with autistic young adults, and virtual mental health support for children, youth, and families.
