I’m a registered Occupational Therapist, Psychotherapist based in Toronto, Ontario. I’ve trained and taken courses in both the UK and Canada, from the University of Leeds Beckett and the University of Oxford to the SickKids Learning Institute (University of Toronto) and Compass Mental Health (BC Children’s Hospital).

I’ve been an advocate, speaker, fundraiser, non-profit board member, magazine publisher and mentor in the eating disorder field since 1999.

I also worked in a pediatric centre with children and youth on the autism spectrum. In private practice, I’ve had many autistic clients who are also struggling with eating difficulties or have been diagnosed with an eating disorder.

As well as my professional training, I have recovered from an eating disorder myself. What began as dieting and orthorexia developed into bulimia when I was a teenager. While that began over 30 years ago, what I learned from that experience has given me powerful insight into what my clients are going through. This has allowed me to connect and work with some of the most therapy-resistant teenagers with success.

I am a passionate, dedicated and approachable therapist who loves being a part of my clients’ path to recovery. I hope you’ll trust me to guide you.
