With over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, parents and families, I focus on providing compassionate support built with connection, celebrating courage, and cultivating self compassion. I provide support to those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief & loss, learning and/or school issues, parenting, or the challenges of everyday life. I have special certifications in trauma, addictions and functional nutrition. Please click on my website for more information about me, my practice and how to book online.
I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, looking at how our physical health (hormones, gut health, vitamin deficiencies, thyroid, menopause) can impact our mood and mental health.
If you are struggling, it is the greatest form of courage to reach out for help. Providing someone to talk to, without judgement, is my greatest passion. If you're struggling with personal relationships, parenting, anxiety or depression, I am here to help. My extensive background in the school board also makes me an excellent advocate for your children.

I work with clients with varying issues from depression & anxiety, to issues parenting and/or addictions. During our initial sessions we focus on building trust and connection and getting to the root of the issues and then creating a plan to move forward one step at a time. Most of my clients feel immediate relief from out first session and a gradual lifting of symptoms as we move forward.
