Hello! I am dedicated to supporting children to adults and helping professionals on their journey towards mental and emotional well-being. When negative thoughts and worries are overwhelming, when difficult situations or behaviors make it hard to enjoy life, or sudden loss and change have left you frozen and lost, I bring a compassionate, collaborative and outcome-focused approach to supporting you. My mission is to create a safe, non-judgmental and empowering space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights, and develop the skills needed for positive change and healing.

I specialize in a range of mental health concerns including grief, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, and life transitions. I am particularly passionate about helping individuals navigate grief. Grief and loss take many forms. I wish to support individuals in their grief process so you know you are not alone.

Embarking on a therapeutic journey is a courageous step, and I am here to support you every step of the way with honesty and dignity. If you are ready to explore your path to wellness, please reach out to schedule a complimentary phone consultation. Your story is unique, and together, we can create a narrative of healing and resilience.
