I’m originally from Canada and have called Munich home since 2016. My background includes a PhD in Psychology, a certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and a license to practice psychotherapy in Germany (Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie). I’m also working toward registration as a psychotherapist in Ontario, Canada, and as a part of this process, I'm currently completing a Master of Counselling. 

Earlier in my career, I taught and conducted research in a university psychology department, focusing on the connection between motivation and well-being. This gave me a foundation in understanding how personal and environmental factors shape mental health, and how research can be translated into practical support.

Alongside this, I gained experience in online counselling, higher education, and community mental health. Over time, these roles made it clear how much I value helping people navigate difficult periods of life with greater self-understanding and compassion.

Outside of work, I enjoy life in Munich with my husband and daughter. I love crocheting, home projects, and unwinding with documentaries and podcasts.
