She completed her internship through McGill's Psychoeducational & Counselling Clinic, providing counselling and therapy to high school and university students in Montreal.

An intensive family- and community-based treatment program that focused on addressing all environmental systems that impacted chronic and violent juvenile offenders - their homes and families, schools and teachers, neighbourhoods and friends.

In 2010, she began serving York Region in Private Practice by providing individuals, couples and families therapeutic and mental health services, and in 2015 named this practice EnerTherapy as she had integrated energetic treatments and techniques to aid in healing.
