Sport & Performance

Context
I have significant experience working with athletes and para athletes, from the recreational to high performance level. As a vetted and early member of Game Plan’s Mental Health Network, I work with individuals at the Canadian national level. I am also contracted with the Canadian Sport Institute Ontario (CSIO) to administer wellness checks, develop and present educational content, and support other interventions as part of their mental health strategy. Finally, I work with athletes and para athletes in the context of my Toronto-based private practice.

My Own Sport Background
I grew up playing a variety of sports such as soccer, skiing, gymnastics, and track & field. I swam for McGill University’s varsity team and was co-captain during my senior year. Later, I got involved in the competitive side of Crossfit, competing internationally and being ranked in Canada’s top 10 female competitors. Currently, I stay active through trail running, yoga, weightlifting, hand balancing, and bouldering.
I have received training in sport psychology, engage in regular consultation with other sport-informed mental health providers, and am a member of professional associations related to sport and performance psychology.
