About
Professional Background
Originally from Ontario, I graduated from Canada’s National Ballet School in Toronto, and then danced professionally with the Dutch National Ballet, Cork City Ballet, and various Montreal-based companies. My dance career has offered me first-hand experience with performance pressure, navigating setbacks and adversity, the impact of coaching environments, identity-loss/ recovery, injury recovery, as well as processes to access creative self-expression and enhance the mind-body connection.
To me, my passions for counselling, mindbody medicine, and human expression through dance, are interconnected and complimentary. Helping people explore their inner experiences, identify growth-points, and pursue their values in life is extremely rewarding to me.
I completed my academic training at McGill University (MA Counselling Psychology, BA Psychology/ Behavioral Science) and my clinical training at Medipsy Psychological Services. I gained experience working with a diverse clientele in private practice and University settings in Montreal before joining the University of Calgary Sports Medicine Centre in 2024.
