As a Registered Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist, I provide professional support to individuals, families, health teams, and organizations. For almost 20 years I have worked with individuals at critical points in their lives. Coping with difficult life transitions can be challenging for many reasons.

Helping you find motivation and/or clarity is driven by both of us. I am here to help, regardless of complexity - let us start together.

In the midst of dealing with stressors, it is normal to feel confused, anxious, or lost. It can be easy to neglect our own emotional, physical, and mental self-care. I welcome the opportunity to assist any individual in reorienting and making sense of their current reality while returning to a place of self-love and wellbeing. I work with adults who face a variety of challenges, including stress, adjustment-related difficulties, depression, anxiety, trauma, relational difficulties, and emotional regulation.

You are a parent of a child or teen who is struggling at school, home or elsewhere. Because of this, you doubt your abilities as a parent, argue with them more than you want to, and feel embarrassed or guilty about their behaviour. Children and teens deal with many of the issues that adults do (anxiety, depression, lack of confidence, learning challenges, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, emotional management) except with less skills and life experiences to help them cope. I work with families to manage the challenges that they are facing and move forward. I also work individually with adults on adult challenges.

People experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, behaving and being. Our uniquely individual and neurodiverse brains are wired to work differently. These differences affect our perceptions, responses and social interactions. I strive to ensure that clients feel heard and seen and accepted for exactly who they are and where they are, at any point in their lives.
