> REGISTERED WITH THE COLLEGE OF NATUROPATHS OF ONTARIO > MEMBER OF THE ONTARIO ASSOCIATION OF NATUROPATHIC DOCTORS > MEMBER OF THE CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF NATUROPATHIC DOCTORS > CANADIAN COLLEGE OF NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE, GRADUATE > BHSC. (HONS.), INTERDISCIPLINARY HEALTH SCIENCES, OTTAWA UNIVERSITY

My initial fascination with medicine wasn’t exactly romantic - in its earliest evolution, it started with an emergency room visit at the age of three in which I watched in awe as my ring finger was re-attached and was punctuated throughout my childhood as I was pushed through the system as a competitive dancer suffering from chronic back pain and then a hormonal teenager suffering from unexplainable neurological symptoms mimicking a stroke. As a result, I saw several sides of medicine - emergent in and out care that quite literally put me back together to chronic disease specialists that had the tools but couldn’t seem to carve out time to validate, diagnose, treat and/or monitor my condition. After all - “you’re young, you’ll probably be fine…”

I chose Naturopathic Medicine because I enjoy the deep dive work, finding what underpins a disease process and carefully unravelling disease factors. Working as an ND affords me the time to listen, learn, educate and monitor my patients in a way that aligns with values and allows me to deliver the highest quality care and comprehensive follow up. My promise to you: as your doctor I will take time to listen, remain curious, hold you accountable and act as a fierce health advocate. One of my core values is courage - I promise to be courageous enough to brave, with you, the very vulnerable space that lies between problem identification and “the fix.” (note: you are NOT broken)

I bridge the gap between modern medicine and traditional wisdoms in a way that serves my patients’ highest health. My goal is to empower women to reclaim their health and happiness because we know that a healthy woman translates to a community of healthy people. Given the tools - women learn, women teach, women share and women lead! That is world changing!

I know personally how dangerous the gender gap in medicine and research has become for women in the 21st century so I focused my practice on women and treating females differently because - we ARE different. Your physiology, your disease factors and your metabolism require a unique approach to health optimization. I will meet you where you are, use strategic assessment to obtain both objective and subjective data points to assess progress, functional medicine testing to confirm a naturopathic diagnosis and education as the basis for all treatment plans. I also pride myself in working closely with my patients’ other health care providers to ensure my care is adjunctive and supports the patient ability to meet and exceed their health goals safely.

I started my formal training by obtaining an Honours degree in Interdisciplinary Health Sciences from the University of Ottawa before attending the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto. At the College, I acted as Vice President - Clinic within the student council, travelled to Nicaragua and delivered primary care to over 150 locals on Ometepe Island in 2014, sat on the admissions committee, was the first student to sit on the Clinical Therapeutic’s Committee (CTC) and was selected to join the first group of interns to work in Canada’s first fully integrated, hospital based, naturopathic out-patient clinic. I completed a 12 month rotation at the Brampton Civic Naturopathic Teaching Clinic while working concurrently at the Parkdale Community Health Centre servicing low income patients and at the College’s onsite clinic - The Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic.

At home, I go by “mama.” My husband and I are proud members of the “two-under-under” club and our dogs make us a family of 6. Design work is my secret artsy passion and I’m currently working on mastering my mom-bun, my iced-coffee and macrame.

After graduating from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in 2019 with a degree in kinesiology, I developed a strong foundation in understanding the mechanics and physiology of the human body. This background paved the way for a deeper exploration into the field of osteopathy, where I have found my true calling.

In September 2024, I will be awarded a Master in Practice diploma of Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences, marking a significant milestone in my professional journey. Following this, I will join Osteopathy Canada, Ontario Osteopathic Association in October 2024, aligning with a community dedicated to advancing the practice of osteopathy.

Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that emphasizes the interrelationship between the body’s structure and function. It is founded on the principle that the body is a dynamic unit of function, wherein all parts are interconnected. As an osteopath, I use my understanding of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics to diagnose and treat various conditions, promoting the body’s natural ability to heal itself. This philosophy resonates deeply with me, as I believe in treating the whole person rather than just the symptoms.

With a passion for holistic health, I am committed to helping individuals achieve optimal well-being through osteopathic principles. My approach involves personalized assessments and treatments that consider the unique needs of each patient, fostering a balanced and harmonious state of health. Through my work, I aim to make a positive impact on the lives of my patients, promoting a comprehensive understanding of health and the body’s innate capacity for self-healing.

“If trauma can be passed down from generation to generation, so can your healing”

I have had the privilege of practicing as a Clinical Social Worker (MSW, BSW, RSW) for eight years in various settings, including health care, community mental health, individual and family therapy, and school settings. At the heart of my practice is relational therapy, which focuses on developing strong therapeutic relationships that value authentic, empathic connections where people can truly feel seen, heard, and understood. My practice is deeply rooted in evidence-based, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed approaches.

As an attachment-focused therapist, I have gained experience working alongside people of all ages (children, adolescents, and adults), providing individual, couples, and family therapy. My areas of specialty include supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, school or work-based stress, grief and loss, relational concerns, and life transitions.

My expertise in attachment allows me to deeply understand how our past, upbringing, and family systems impact us; this allows me to operate from a space of empathy and genuine care. I honour clients’ unique strengths and needs and integrate a variety of approaches into my practice including emotionally focused therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, narrative therapy, mindfulness and somatic-based techniques, and EMDR.

One of my life’s greatest privileges is being a clinical social worker. I continue to learn so much from the brave human beings who have trusted me with their life stories. I believe that you are the expert of your story, and it is a true privilege for me as a therapist to walk alongside you in your healing journey.

I hold a deep appreciation for the courage needed to seek out support and am honoured to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and accepting space for you to share your story. Regardless of where you are in your journey, it is never too early or too late to reach out. Finding a therapist that you feel safe with is so important, which is why I offer 15-minute complimentary phone calls to explore if I may be the ‘right fit’ for you.

Welcome. I am so glad you are here. Growing up I knew I wanted to help others and it wasn’t until I found Naturopathic Medicine that I knew how I would do it.

Using the Naturopathic Principles of treating the whole person, doctor as teacher, and supporting the healing power of nature, I am here to help you thrive through all of life’s challenges and remember your innate state of wellness.

Growing up in Toronto, I developed a passion for food and a love for all things that support this journey we are on. Whether it be a nourishing meal or dancing with friends, I believe in the powers of what we put in our body, and who and what we surround ourselves with. We heal in community and are not meant to solve all our problems on our own.

As a Naturopathic Doctor, I focus on the foundations of health; sleep, movement, food and connection. I see you as a whole person, and take into account everything that makes you, you. I incorporate treatments such as diet and lifestyle changes, functional foods, herbal medicine, and acupuncture, using a patient-centred approach to your health. My practice is a judgement free space, trauma informed, and welcoming to patients of all identities. I strive to hold a safe container for you to be seen and cared for.

My approach is to meet you where you are at, to find the most successful way forward together. I blend the evidence based with the ethereal, and my intellect with my intuition to create a plan individualized to you and your health goals. Nobody knows you better than you do. I hope to guide you back to a place where it feels safe to listen to that inner knowing, giving you tools to feel empowered in your health.

The ways I enjoy life include but are certainly not limited to; being mama to my two little boys, sharing a good meal with friends and family, dancing in the rain, enjoying a good cup of tea and getting to witness the everyday magic in the gratitude of my patients.

Welcome. I am so glad you are here. Growing up I knew I wanted to help others and it wasn’t until... Read More

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!

Master’s Level MA in Counselling Psychology practicum student who is qualified to practice onsite under the clinical supervision of a Registered Psychotherapist/Social Worker. Before completing the Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) program at Yorkville University, my undergraduate studies focused on interpersonal communication, analyzing patterns of behaviour and the emotional well-being of women, in particular. Since then, I have built a career based upon person-centered work and hospitality management, culminating in the pursuit of counselling and psychotherapy. My goal is to create a therapeutic space that is safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental; that honours your intersectional identity, culture, and unique life experiences. I strongly believe in utilizing a client-centered approach, meeting each person where they might be in their own personal journey and offering the encouragement or support that matches each individual’s needs. In doing so, our goal will be to develop a collaborative therapeutic relationship that fosters a deeper connection with oneself. In focusing my practice on young adults, women, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, I often see positive benefits in using an integrative approach to best develop a treatment plan together. While adjusting our pace to meet your individual needs, sessions will be informed by several theoretical orientations — including narrative and solution-focused techniques meant to approach topics like anxiety, self-esteem, people-pleasing behaviours, conflict resolution, life transitions, perfectionism, stress, and burnout. When not in the office, I can typically be found spending time outdoors with my dogs and always with a coffee in my hand. I’m a self-proclaimed “busy body” that loves to keep active, create in the kitchen, socialize with friends, garden on the weekends, and spend time with family. I always welcome new experiences, new connections, and all podcast recommendations! As I continue to progress through my practicum as part of the KuRated team, my greatest privilege is the ability to work alongside you on your wellness journey and provide ongoing dedication and support. To determine if my counselling style is right for you, please consider booking a 15-minute complimentary phone call with me today.
