60 Collier Street Suite 204 Barrie, ON L4M
I am a Registered Social Worker, Clinical Traumatologist, and Autism Specialist with a Master’s in Social Work. Since 2014, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals, couples, families, and adolescents as they navigate life’s challenges. My approach is rooted in compassion and understanding, and I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly seen and heard. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, grief and loss, family or relationship conflict, co-parenting challenges, or emotional regulation difficulties, I am here to walk alongside you in your journey towards healing.
As a couples, co-parenting, and family therapist, I’m passionate about helping people build stronger, healthier relationships. With specialized training in EMDR, I guide clients through processing trauma and healing from limiting beliefs. My goal is to empower clients to grow and heal, so they can step into the best version of themselves.
Through my eclectic approach, drawing from a variety of therapeutic techniques, I strive to help you uncover your strengths, process life’s challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we’ll work toward building a life that feels fulfilling and aligned with who you truly are.
