I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto (2009), specializing in Social Justice and Diversity with a focus on community development. Over the past 15 years, my work has centered on developing, evaluating, and implementing community-based programs that support the health and well-being of vulnerable individuals, groups, and communities. I bring this wealth of experience in community health and equity into my work at Create Healing Spaces.

Outside of work, I like to paint, potter around the garden, dream up travelling adventures and spend time with my partner and young pup.

Yoga Sciences

My yoga journey began at age 18, alongside a deep interest in Eastern philosophies. Over the years, yoga has remained a grounding force in my life—a practice of self-care, introspection, and connection. From attending retreats in Costa Rica and Thailand to working the front desk at a yoga studio in my twenties, yoga has always been a practice in connecting me back to my body and myself.

Reiki & Energetic Healing

My introduction to Reiki was a deeply spiritual and transformative experience. Since then, I’ve followed a calling to offer this powerful modality to others. I completed my Reiki Level I & II certifications in 2012, and received my Reiki Master Level certification in 2014 with Stephanie Cookson at Transense Healing Arts Studio.

As a lifelong learner, yoga practitioner, and therapist, my path continues to evolve.

I am committed to sharing what I learn in service of your healing. This spirit of continuous growth and integration is at the heart of Create Healing Spaces Psychotherapy and Wellness.

I look forward to creating and holding space for you.
