Meet the Team
Meet the BeWell Therapy Team:
No two people heal the same way. Every person we see brings a unique history, a different nervous system, and distinct needs. That’s why our team is trained in a diverse range of therapeutic modalities. Each of our therapists has developed a unique clinical identity rooted in years of specialized training and a deep passion for their work. We believe your therapy should be as unique as you are.
Appointments are available in person at our welcoming office space in downtown Whitby, or virtually across Ontario.

Trauma, anxiety, identity, race, and authenticity are what I work with most, helping you to process the past and reconnect with yourself to find emotional regulation. I also provide support for couples (Gottman Method Level 2) and family dynamics.
