Sometimes life feels like you've lost your footing. Anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or major life changes can leave you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and disconnected from who you are. You may be questioning your direction, your confidence, or what comes next. I work with teens, adults, and couples who are ready to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. Together, we'll explore what's getting in the way, build practical tools for life's challenges, and help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults experiencing challenges with mental health diagnoses, developmental trauma, relationship difficulties, and interpersonal conflict. I am passionate about engaging others in meaningful conversations that empower them to lean into their challenges to learn ways to heal and take charge of their dreams, hopes, and goals. I strive to create a space for people to feel safety and security through a collaborative relationship wherein they tap into their resiliency and explore themselves.

If you want a different outcome, are you willing to walk a different path? Maybe you're feeling disconnected from yourself or others, overwhelmed by change, grieving a loss, or just wondering, "Why is everything so hard right now?" You might find yourself overthinking, avoiding, people-pleasing, or replaying that awkward conversation from five years ago at 2 a.m. You want clarity, relief, and a way forward that feels genuine and sustainable. Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy is a space to slow down and make meaningful shifts.

There are times in life when you feel stuck or challenges feel too heavy to manage on our own. Maybe the loneliness in your relationship feels too heavy or you're avoiding difficult conversations with the people you love. These struggles can leave us feeling isolated, drained, and unsure of what to do next. Counselling offers a safe and supportive space to work through these challenges and find a way forward. Many individuals and couples seek counselling for: relationship difficulties, feeling disconnected, increased conflict, or communication struggles; infidelity; or bullying.

Are you struggling with intrusive thoughts, anxiety, panic, or a constant sense of tension that makes it difficult to relax, focus, or feel fully present in your life? Do you feel stuck in fight-or-flight, experiencing ongoing nervous system dysregulation that leaves you exhausted, hypervigilant, or emotionally overwhelmed? You may find yourself caught in cycles of overthinking, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, or compulsive behaviors that temporarily reduce distress but ultimately reinforce it. I support individuals navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, and health anxiety who are ready for meaningful, lasting change.

Do you find yourself struggling with relationships? You might be feeling overwhelmed from balancing the demands of work, school, and daily tasks, leaving you feeling emotionally drained and disconnected from yourself and your relationships.

I hold a specialized degree in Thanatology, the study of death, loss, grief, and bereavement. Over time, I’ve come to understand that grief extends far beyond the loss of a loved one—it can emerge through life transitions, identity shifts, relationship changes, and the countless moments that challenge our sense of stability and self.
My practice is rooted in compassion, connection, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. I use a holistic, trauma-informed approach integrating the mind, body, and soul. I believe that growth and transformation occur when we feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Do you feel disappointed in how you show up in your relationship? Do you escalate quickly, shut down, or try to fix everything just to ease the tension? After conflict, do you replay conversations and think, “This isn’t who I want to be”? Do you long for steadiness and to feel truly understood? Are you afraid that if something doesn’t change, the distance will grow and the relationship may not survive? Whether you are coming on your own or as a couple, you want deeper insight into your patterns so you can relate to yourself and others with more clarity and intention.

I am accepting new clients. I have over 15 years of experience as a social worker working with individuals, couples and families. In my sessions I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can freely share their stories and experiences without fear of criticism or rejection. Outside of my practice I am a mom of 4 and partner to my husband of 16 years. I understand first hand that life is not always easy, it can be messy and complicated and we can benefit at times from having another person walk alongside us.

You might feel like your mind never slows down. Intrusive thoughts, anxiety, OCD, overthinking, or perfectionism can keep you stuck in exhausting loops that are hard to break. You may find yourself second-guessing decisions, seeking reassurance, or replaying situations over and over, leaving you mentally drained. Even when things look okay on the outside, you may feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or like you're losing control.
Many people begin OCD and anxiety therapy wanting more than just coping. They want clarity, calm, and the confidence to trust themselves again and feel more like themselves.

Evening Availability! - - - I help people navigate grief and loss, including life transitions like breakups, job loss, health changes, and more. Life can shift beneath us, suddenly or slowly, leaving us feeling unsettled. Even expected change can be disorienting. You might think, “This shouldn’t be a big deal,” or, “I should be okay by now.” Grief isn’t just about death. It’s any loss that changes how you see your life. Your pain is valid. Together, we’ll create space for your experience, build clarity, and help you feel more connected.

You’re exhausted from surviving instead of truly living, constantly battling anxiety, overwhelm, and the lasting effects of past trauma. Maybe your mind feels like it never quiets down, or your body carries a tension you can’t shake. You dream of waking up feeling calmer, lighter, and at peace, without the constant weight of stress pulling you under. You want relationships that feel supportive and safe rather than draining or confusing. Most of all, you want to feel whole again- to reconnect with the confident, authentic version of yourself that’s been buried under pain and self-doubt. Please know- the life you want is available.

I work with couples who feel distant, stuck in the same arguments, or unsure how to reconnect. I also work with individuals, many of them men, who feel the weight of pressure and responsibility while carrying anxiety, stress, or a sense that something is not quite right. Often, people come in feeling emotionally worn down and disconnected from the life or relationships they want. In our work, we slow things down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and develop practical ways to move forward that fit your real day-to-day life.
