I am a passionate registered Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with youth and their families in various capacities. Individuals are able to continuously grow into the best versions of themselves when they are given the opportunities and conditions to build healthy relationships that provide space for trust, affirmation, and support through challenging situations in life. The crux of a healthy therapeutic relationship is trust and transparency and I have dedicated my life to offering this space. I utilize space and time to build a trusting relationship, and I commit to transparency as a vehicle to building trust.

When I think about therapy, I imagine my client’s search for well-being and healing as if they were lost and trying to find their way home. You might know where home is, but find yourself stuck in darkness, not being able to find your way. As your therapist, I see myself holding the flashlight. You are the one who knows your way to healing, and I have the tools to help get you there easier. This is what I believe therapy looks like; us walking together on your journey. As we travel together to help you find “home”—your place of healing, peace, and comfort—while I share my knowledge and tools to help you find that “home”.

Is your child or teenager struggling socially or struggling in school? As a Counsellor with a focus on play therapy, I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where children can freely express themselves and engage in play that is meaningful to them. Play therapy can be effective in helping children with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, behavioral challenges, social skills development, and more. It allows children to develop coping skills, build resilience, and gain insight into their thoughts and feelings, empowering them to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience.

In all walks of life one thing is true: We all get stuck at one point or another. Sometimes we can get unstuck but there are times when it seems impossible. Whether it's relationship issues, family conflict or individual difficulties, sometimes we need to slow things down and breathe with hope of finding some sense of freedom and growth. It's easier said then done but you reading this right now have already taken the step of seeking help which isn't an easy step.

It can be hard to take that first step towards pursuing counselling services. I commend you for showing up for yourself and reaching out to a trusted professional to talk to about your hopes, fears, and obstacles.
