Breanne brings a wealth of experience through clinical positions at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, and Toronto Metropolitan University.

Breanne brings curiosity, openness, and humility to her clinical work, valuing the wisdom, intersectional identities, and lived experiences of her clients. She is deeply empathic and attentive to the therapeutic relationship, providing a safe and responsive environment for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, emotion dysregulation, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, life transitions, identity difficulties, and burnout.
