REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST #14844

MENTAL HEALTH REGISTERED NURSE #16124169

My complicated and roundabout journey towards becoming a psychotherapist has been life-long. Here’s what this path has looked like so far:

• bachelor’s degree specialized honours psychology at York University with focus on personality psychology and neuropsychology

• dropped out of post-graduate psychology studies and became an emergency first responder for a large police service

• returned back to the academic world and became a psychiatric nurse

• back to academics a third time to finish off where I had started in post-graduate psychology studies, focusing on PTSD and complex trauma
