I specialize in supporting people navigating cancer, chronic illness/autoimmune conditions, and complex digestive disorders. Maybe you’ve been told “your tests are normal” while your life feels anything but. Maybe you’re grieving the body you once trusted, exhausted from advocating for yourself, or quietly terrified of what the next scan will show. Illness changes more than your health, it changes your identity, relationships, and sense of safety in the world. If your body has changed your life in ways you didn’t choose, you don't have to navigate this alone. I'm honoured to walk alongside you as you reclaim your sense of self.
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.
Together, we make space to process the challenges and explore ways to rebuild steadiness, meaning, and a sense of self that feels whole again. You deserve support from someone that truly understands. Take a moment for yourself to schedule your first session, and let’s work together towards your health, happiness and overall well-being. You deserve it.
