I’m Fran, a registered social worker (MSW, RSW 13307) with over 20 years of international experience supporting youth and families through growth, transitions, and challenges. As both a counsellor and a parent of teenagers, I bring a compassionate, practical approach that combines clinical training with real-life understanding. I offer individual and family counselling, drawing on evidence-based, trauma-integrated practices to help clients navigate life’s challenges. I believe we are all experts of our own lives and all possess strengths that we can harness to feel, process, connect and grow – even when courage is fleeting.
What Can I help with?
I specialize in Youth and Adult Counselling and Parent/Caregiver Support.
Traumatic Events, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Brun Out, Substance Use, Co-Dependency, Conflict, Anger Management, Life Transitions, Single Parenting, Co-parenting, LGBTQ+ Support , Self-Harm, Suicidal Ideation, Struggles at school, Self-Esteem, Neurodivergence.
Grounded in attachment theory and relational practices, my approach is that we heal and grow in connection and thrive in community. No one should have to struggle alone. My goal as a counsellor is to ensure that you feel truly seen, deeply heard and gently validated while we work together on your counselling goals.
