Before entering psychology, she taught children across the K-12 spectrum in Calgary, Beirut, and Philadelphia, and worked as a Medical Illustrator at the University of Toronto and in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Having lived and worked in multiple countries and cultures, Mary-Anne brings a deep appreciation for the ways in which culture, opportunity, and systemic factors shape mental health and personal identity.

Mary-Anne’s academic journey includes a BFA in Painting and Drawing, a BSc in Medical Illustration, a Master’s in Education, and a Master’s in Counselling Psychology. She integrates multiple evidence-based approaches in her practice, with a strong emphasis on the connection between physical and mental well-being.

Mary-Anne is committed to creating a warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive space where clients can build greater self-awareness, process difficult experiences, and move toward their full potential. Her goal is to walk alongside each person as they uncover strengths, reframe unhelpful patterns, and pursue meaningful change
