| I’ve been in your shoes |
Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to learn a little about me. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I completed my training at the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy (TIRP) - a rigorous graduate psychotherapy program accredited by the CRPO. I will be returning to TIRP and joining faculty for the upcoming 2023-2024 academic year. I am also a member of the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy.
I am a Type 1 Diabetic, and have experience navigating chronic illness as well as caregiver fatigue. In addition to my work as a therapist, I am a fine art photographer and beloved dog dad.
my positionality
I acknowledge my privilege in being able to access both personal healing work and specialized trainings in psychotherapy. I move through this world as a Queer, Trans-masculine able-bodied person of colour, I have the highest regard for creating and maintaining safe spaces. My commitment to social justice is sustained by my belief that we are all equally deserving of genuine connection. In that space, healing and transformation are possible.
I recognize and acknowledge that my practice exists upon the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. I further acknowledge that this land is covered by the Between the Lakes Purchase, 1792, between the Crown and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
