PERSONAL INTERESTS
Outside of my work with clients, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, family, and close friends, going for long jogs, traveling, organizing around my home, and being creative! As someone who also enjoys singing, discovering new artists, or jamming to a great playlist is one of my daily forms of self-care.

VISION
Supporting individuals towards becoming the healthiest version of themselves is my heart. With over 15 years of experience in the performing arts industry and over 6 years working as a community supporter, I have had the privilege of helping many reach their personal goals. My passion for psychotherapy is fuelled by the desire to see individuals succeed and use their strengths to work towards greater health, joy, and self-discovery with my integrative approach.
Hummingbird Psychotherapy was a vision that grew out of an idea, which began over 10 years ago. At that time I began to understand the many differences in people’s struggles and how many needed support but did not receive it for various reasons. Years later, while spending time away overseas, I had the opportunity to speak with individuals about their silent struggles, which reminded me of my own narrative and the support I needed in times of challenge. This inspired my desire to pursue psychotherapy and also stand in the gap for individuals who are often underrepresented such as BIPOC communities, women, and creatives. I realized that my capacity in life was meant for more than just performing on stages.
So many of us desire support, but do not know how to ask or how to express our concerns. Hummingbird Psychotherapy is a warm and empathetic environment that aims to provide a safe space for you to express your concerns and work towards your goals. If you desire growth and want to become a healthier version of yourself, it would be a joy to work with you!
