Credentials

A Lifelong Commitment to Learning

Success isn't built on theory- it's built on experience. Take a look at the qualifications that back my approach to coaching.

Education

M.A. in Counselling Psychology, Yorkville University — 2024
This is where I dug into human behaviour, motivation, identity, and how people create sustainable change — the core of coaching work.

Ph.D. in English, York University — 2022
My research focused on human connection, authenticity, care, trust, and love. Translation: I spent years studying what makes people thrive, relate, and live well.

Certificate in Photography Studies, Toronto Metropolitan University — 2023
Creativity has always been part of how I see people. Coaching with me weaves together logic, intuition, and perspective, not just structure.

Coaching-Relevant Training

I don’t always use clinical terminology in coaching, but you’ll feel the depth behind the work. My training includes:

Acceptance & Commitment–based approaches
Values, aligned action, psychological flexibility — the backbone of meaningful life change.
Internal Family Systems–informed skills
Helping you understand your inner world, without judgment or shame.
Solution-Focused strategies
Direct, future-oriented, and actionable — perfect for coaching.
Mindfulness & Resilience practices
Helping you stay grounded, focused, and capable under stress.

These aren’t used as therapy modalities — they inform how I help you shift patterns, set goals, and build a life that actually feels like yours.

Professional Background

Clinical Director & Coach / Psychotherapist
I lead a team, support therapists, and help clients navigate some of life’s most complex transitions. The leadership skills blend beautifully into career and transitional coaching.

15+ years supporting emerging and mid-career professionals in university & private settings
I specialize in moments where life is changing fast — and you need someone who can keep up.
University transitions, career pivots, burnout, values alignment, confidence, imposter syndrome, and “what am I doing with my life?” seasons.

Creator & facilitator of mindfulness and resiliency programs
Since 2018, I’ve been teaching people how to manage stress, increase clarity, and take bold action — not by hustling harder, but by working smarter and more intentionally.

Experience across cultures, identities, and life stages
I support neurodiverse folks, first-gen immigrants, LGBTQ2S+ clients, high achievers, perfectionists, and anyone who feels like they’re carrying more than they let on.

Your story matters — and I’m trained to work with the whole human, not just the goal.

What This Means for My Coaching

My coaching blends:

Values alignment (what actually matters to you)

Strategy + structure (what you’re going to do next)

Resilience & nervous system support (so you don’t burn out doing it)

Compassion + accountability (the secret sauce most coaching misses)

Clarity + action (movement, not just insight)

I’m not the “just manifest it” coach.
I’m the “let’s get clear, grounded, and intentional — and then let’s actually build the life you keep saying you want” coach.

Who I Work Best With

People navigating:

High school → university transitions

University → career transitions

Career pivots and early-career identity shifts

Burnout, stress, perfectionism

Values misaligned (you know what matters to you...you're just not doing it yet)

Confidence + clarity blocks

Creative identity + self-expression

Ready to Stop Talking About Change and Actually Make It?

If you’re feeling that little pull — the “I think she might be the person I need” feeling — trust it.
Let’s build the clarity, confidence, and momentum you’ve been trying to create on your own.

Your next chapter doesn’t start someday. It starts when you start.
