Joined Pine River: 2026
Nadia is a Registered Psychotherapist, mom, and ninja. She joins the Pine River Institute with over a decade of clinical experience, including six years at accredited children’s mental health agencies in Toronto and six years in private practice supporting individuals, couples, and adolescents.
Nadia holds a Master’s degree in Expressive Arts Therapy from the European Graduate School and a Diploma in Relational Psychotherapy. As a bi-racial clinician, Nadia is deeply committed to navigating complexity and difference through trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive lenses.
Outside the office, Nadia enjoys spending time with her bonkers kiddo and fellow-therapist husband. To fully recharge, Nadia takes it out on the dojo floor. As a 4th degree black belt in karate, Nadia’s martial arts practice grounds the determination and presence she brings to her therapeutic work.
