Over 30 years as a Registered Social Worker, and nearly 20 years as a therapist, I am currently accepting new clients. My style is honest, respectful and collaborative. I work best with adults and teens who want an active, engaged partner in their mental health journey. If you are working with a complex issue, or are skeptical about whether therapy can help, reach out. I might be the person you're looking for. The heart of therapy is in the relationship, in building human connections that support meaningful change and growth.
I have a proven track record of supporting clients through crises, trauma, and other complex life circumstances. I offer evidence-based knowledge and real world experience helping people navigate complicated thoughts and distressing emotions. My practice is grounded in careful listening, respect for client choice, and practical strategic suggestions.
We all need help from time to time. I bring warmth, curiosity and a unique blend of personal and professional experience. Helping others has always been at my core. I am genuinely interested in what you're experiencing, what matters most to you, and how you want to move forward.

I often use dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), person-centred therapy, and a strengths-based approach.
