I founded Keynote Psychology to create a quiet space apart from the hustle of daily life, designed to nurture curiosity and deepen understanding of one's emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual experiences.

My background is rich with an intergenerational tapestry of travellers, immigrants, and dreamers who navigated through hardships, losses, and renewals. This heritage instills in me a profound compassion for origin stories and the concept of homecoming. Drawing on my experiences in puppetry and improvisational theatre, my approach is deeply rooted in creativity and relational dynamics.

I completed my undergraduate studies in Psychology with Honours at Carleton University and conducted fieldwork as a project coordinator and lead researcher at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto. I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.

My clinical experience includes leading inpatient and outpatient programs for anxiety and supporting cancer survivors, caregivers, and those dealing with bereavement. I am licensed for autonomous practice by the College of Psychologists of Ontario and am a member of the Ontario Psychological Association.

Traditionally, we perceive stories as narratives conveyed through words, written or spoken. However, I believe that stories are also expressed through our emotions, thoughts, body language, and habits. In therapy, clients sometimes communicate verbally, while at other times, they express themselves through the non-verbal language of the body—through posture, sensations, and subtle cues. I am deeply interested in all aspects of our interactions because I believe every behaviour has purpose and meaning.

Requesting help and sharing personal experiences require both emotional and physical safety. In our sessions, we collaboratively establish a safe space that allows you to explore and articulate these experiences. This enables us to understand, refresh, and transform your old stories into new narratives that you choose to define your life.

I employ a contextual behavioural and trauma-informed approach, helping clients find meaning in complex emotions and empowering them through actions that align with their values. My methodology integrates cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, existential, somatic, parts work, and mindfulness approaches. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach to help process and calm traumatic memories. I also specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which teaches you to handle difficult thoughts and feelings more effectively, using mindfulness and behavioural strategies to help you live in a way that fits your values.

My research on humour has taught me its potential to reveal strength and truth, acknowledge our resilience, and create a sense of safety. Humour can offer a break from tough experiences. When suitable and respectful, we take opportunities to introduce a sense of lightness into our sessions.

I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs, focusing on creating a non‑judgmental therapeutic environment. I am committed to respecting each person’s cultural identity, ensuring that your therapy is collaborative and inclusive.
