I became a Social Worker because of this intrinsic desire to walk alongside people through their pain and into their growth. As I’ve continued my own growth, both personally and professionally, I have developed a deep passion for working with folks across the lifespan, from ages 8 to 90, as they work towards healing and peace. I have worked with folks with various neurotypes, substance use and addiction, those experiencing housing insecurity and poverty, intimate partner violence/domestic violence, trauma and attachment challenges, self-esteem, emotion regulation, self-harm, suicidal ideation/suicidality, Dementia, and TBI/ABIs.

As a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with a Masters degree in Social Work, I have extensive experience working in healthcare, post-secondary settings, dementia care, and palliative care.
Grief and loss: As a Certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist, I help grievers deal with the pain of emotional loss with a hands-on, practical approach that is evidence-based. Emotional challenges: are dysregulated emotions affecting your ability to function in the world in the way you would like? We can work together to regain a healthier version of you. Relationship dynamics: We all struggle with developing and maintaining healthy relationships. I can help you identify unhealthy patterns in your relationships (romantic, family, friendships, etc.) and work with you to improve your relationship skills.

As an internationally awarded registered psychotherapist, I help clients redefine how they live their lives. I enjoy working with older children, adolescents, couples, families as well as individual adults. I will help you to challenge the problematic assumptions and ways of being that prevent you from realizing the full potential of your life. I work from a collaborative stance that assumes you are the expert on your life and share my own expertise in helping people overcome emotional problems, troublesome habits and relationship roadblocks to help you create new solutions to what used to be old problems.

I believe that we are all in a continuous process of identifying our internal resources, embracing our own creativity and mobilizing our psychic energy. My aim for therapy is to help my clients arrive at a personal, yet structured and novel, understanding of themselves, others and the world around them. I invite my clients to enrich their personal narratives and use their own unique abilities and skills. Each session is a collaborative attempt to elaborate on the client’s mental map. Each conversation is a mutual dialogue on how you could experience yourself differently.

Individual Counselling is a process through which I meet with clients one-on-one in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. We work collaboratively to explore their feelings, beliefs, values and behaviors. My clients seek therapy for a wide variety of reasons including coping with perimenopause/menopause, working through grief and loss issues, dealing with depression or anxiety, family of origin challenges or simply desiring personal growth and greater self-knowledge. I may meet with a client for as few as five or six sessions or as long as several years, depending on the their unique needs and personal goals for therapy.

Change is hard and becoming a parent is perhaps one of the most transformative life transitions of all. Each stage we go through from conception to empty nesting comes with its joys and challenges. I have experience walking alongside people as they navigate change in their lives. It is my intention to support you so you feel safe to open up and explore yourself. As I’ve learned, parenting is tough and it is common to feel lost. There is such value in creating connection with others, as well as ourselves. Change may also be embracing opportunities to focus on one's well-being and goals, in a way that brings balance.
