Let's Connect (587) 209-3778

Being human is hard. Sometimes, we need support as we experience life's challenges and a safe space to share what we have been experiencing, thinking, and feeling. I aim to create that space and walk with you without judgment, offering care and support as you navigate your path. I am passionate about client-centred care rooted in what works for you and offering what resources, knowledge, and experiences I have to share with you as a clinician. My areas of passion include Grief and Loss (including death, illness, miscarriage, infertility, divorce, pet loss), Life Transitions, and Relationships.

My experience includes working with families, couples, and individuals. I specialize in working with adults and older adults (+65), offering age-friendly care as they navigate life transitions, identity, grief, and changes. I have a background in the theatre arts, music, and Reiki, and I bring positive energy and creativity to my work as a clinician.

I believe in walking together and helping one another along the road. I am here to support you, and I hope you will reach out if you need that extra care right now. If you feel unsure or are afraid counselling might not be right for you, I offer free 15-minute initial phone sessions to find out if working with me is a good fit for your needs at this time.

I often use a Family Systems approach in my practice for complex relationships and feelings, exploring thoughts and responses to events based on the experiences and behaviours learned in our family of origin. I tend toward Strength and Mindfulness based approaches for grief and trauma. Regardless, It is important for me to use interventions that connect with the client and their goals and needs.
