I am a clinical social worker providing individual, couple and family counselling for a wide array of concerns. The foundation of my practice is client-centred and relational. I firmly believe that for therapy to be most effective, a relationship must be established between the client and counsellor. I have 18 years of experience working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, parenting skills, aging, and health concerns

Accepting new clients - Experience has taught me that the first step toward feeling better is simply reaching out for help. I provide a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space for you to identify your best self. You are the expert in your own life, and I will walk beside you on your journey as we discover together the tools and solutions that you need. We aren't meant to deal with life's hardships alone!

Becoming a parent is one of the most intense transitions couples go through. Most will find the experience to be overwhelming, regardless of how well supported they are. The highs are high, and lows - low. You may notice you don’t feel like yourself, you’re on edge, consumed with worry and a deep desire to get everything right as a parent - and intense guilt if you feel you've missed the mark. Perhaps things with your co-parent are feeling hard too. Having a child rocks our intimate partner relationships - many couples start to feel like roommates and don't know how to work through the disconnection and conflict that arise.

I am passionate about emotional, psychological and spiritual well-being.
