Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. As a Registered Social Worker and Registered Psychotherapist, I bring both clinical depth and a warm, down-to-earth presence. I know how hard it can be to begin. I’ll meet you where you are, and we’ll face the hard things together - at your pace, with compassion and clarity.

I am a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who works with adults, children, adolescents, and couples experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges. My approach is collaborative, grounded, and evidence-informed, creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore and understand the deeper patterns.

Prior to entering private practice, I worked in rural community mental health across Huron and Perth County, supporting individuals and families through complex life transitions. This experience reinforced my belief that therapy should be accessible, authentic, and rooted in meaningful human connection. Please reach out today to see how I can help you.
