Everyone has the potential to grow and thrive despite any adversity they may experience. Life can be challenging and as such everyone can benefit from therapy. I operate from a trauma-informed lens and strive to assist my clients with moving forward with a resilient mindset. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, adults and families on their grief journey. I respect each client's story. While grief/loss is an area that I specialize in, my expertise extends to assisting individuals who are struggling with daily life stressors and mental health challenges.

I believe in the healing power of relationships. I believe the most powerful relationship between client and therapist is based on honesty, openness and a willingness to grow - on both sides.
