If you've landed on this page, it's not by accident. Whether you're navigating the weight of illness, grief, stress, or uncertainty, this space was created with you in mind. You're not alone anymore. You were meant to find this support, and I'm honoured to walk alongside you as you heal, grow, and reclaim your sense of self. At Blume, healing isn’t about staying strong—it’s about feeling seen, supported, and empowered on your journey. When everything feels like too much and not enough at the same time, therapy can help you find solid ground again. Whether that be through new skills and insight, or having a safe space to express.

As a caregiver and companion to someone with chronic illness, I’ve witnessed the deep emotional, physical, and mental toll it can take. This lived experience profoundly shapes my work as a social worker and psychotherapist. I offer compassionate, non-judgmental support rooted in empathy, advocacy, and understanding to help clients navigate life with illness

Living with and/or supporting someone through illness can feel overwhelming and isolating. The emotional weight can be heavy and it's easy to feel exhausted and guilty for prioritizing yourself. You deserve support from someone that truly understands. Take a moment for yourself, schedule a session, and let’s work together towards your overall well-being.

Navigating your own diagnosis, or the diagnosis of a loved one can be incredibly challenging, and it can be hard to find a therapist who understands the way cancer, chronic illness, and treatment impact who you are - even after treatment ends. I support individuals and their families navigating a chronic illness and/or cancer diagnosis from the initial shock to survivorship and beyond.
