My clinical perspective is informed by both formal training and lived experience. Throughout my early adulthood, I moved through a range of professional and community environments with deep commitment and a strong desire to contribute meaningfully. In 2012, as a new mother, I became involved in a wellness‑focused multilevel marketing organization, otherwise known as a commercial cult. This experience profoundly shaped my understanding of coercion and vulnerability in group settings.

I pursued formal training at the Ontario Psychotherapy and Counselling College (OPCC). In my final year of training as a therapist, my independent research concentration was about how neurodivergent individuals can be uniquely impacted by narcissistic leadership and high‑control groups. I came to discover how traits such as hyperfocus, justice sensitivity, and pattern recognition, which can be exploited, can also become strengths in advocacy work. For the last several years, I have been engaged in advocacy work supporting survivors of MLMs, labour exploitation, coaching scams and high‑control workplaces.

While my approach is grounded in trauma‑aware, neuro‑affirming, and anti‑oppressive principles, it’s been my experience that a sense of humour, used thoughtfully, can support regulation and connection and help navigate difficult material without becoming overwhelmed.

I aim to provide a space where clients can explore their experiences with curiosity and humour. With new insight, they can reclaim a sense of agency while recovering from relational trauma and/or breaking free from old patterns.
