Olivia is a student at the University of Toronto working toward her Master’s in Psychology and Mental Health Studies. At Nova Phoenix, Olivia is a volunteer supporting the team through administrative work, marketing and social media initiatives, customer relations, and fostering mental health awareness.

Originally from Niagara Falls, Olivia has always been passionate about understanding human behaviour, development, and the importance of creating meaningful connections with others. Her interest in psychology was shaped through both personal experiences and a strong desire to help others feel heard, supported, and less isolated in their struggles. She is particularly interested in developmental psychology, psychodynamic perspectives, person-centered approaches, and mindfulness-based practices.

As a proud member of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, Olivia values creating inclusive, affirming, and non-judgmental spaces for others. She is excited to continue learning and growing within the mental health field while contributing to the Nova Phoenix team and community.
