You are the expert in you, I’m here to help you in exploring yourself deeper. Clients from ages 10 to 100 will find space with me that is collaborative, individualized, nonjudgmental, and genuine. I work with individuals who may be struggling with mental health issues, relationships, or exploring who they are, ouples/relationships in need of repair or who want to ensure they are continuing along in a healthy way as they plan their future together, and families who may be struggling to reconnect, understand each other, or who want to ensure longevity in their system.

Life is challenging for even the most stable among us, and we all need someone who will be there for us in an authentic way. I meet people where they are and pull from different therapeutic modalities like CBT, DBT, trauma-informed, and more because everyone shows up in their own unique way. I have 20 years of experience in mental health, working with a wide variety of clients, each with their own individual needs and goals. My experiences as a mom, a partner, and having lived through challenging times, show up as compassion and empathy for the journey you are on.

Individuals seek counselling for a variety of reasons looking to gain support through life challenges. Individuals are interested in exploring their past, present, and future to resolve their past experiences or circumstances that have led to their current state.

Healing through counselling can be a difficult and emotional process and your counsellor will work with you to overcome the challenges or impediments you are facing. The goal of counselling is to enhance the well-being of individuals and families in a space where you are seen and heard and to assist you in removing obstacles that prevent you from experiencing the balance and joy that you seek for yourself. Counselling will assist you in healing from the symptoms and emotional distress caused by challenging life experiences.

Throughout my career in child welfare and long-term care, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges individuals and families experience in their lives. I have an extensive amount of experience, and knowledge in dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, religious trauma, and toxic workplace stress. I assist individuals and families to adjust to life transitions such as illness, grief loss; separation, and divorce.

I draw from models of treatment that are systemic, strength-based, solution-focused, and with a trauma-informed lens in assisting the client to develop skills, healthier coping strategies, and resources to enhance their healing. My therapeutic approach emphasizes person-centred therapy reflecting empathy, acceptance, and genuineness.

I offer ongoing treatment as a compassionate, caring, collaborative, and non-judgemental process developed by the client, family, and therapist to set goals to meaningfully engage in their life. I am a registered social worker (OCSWSSW) and a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work as well as a Bachelor’s in Social Work and a Bachelor of Sociology. I also hold a Long Term Care Administration certificate; certification in Art Therapy and am completing a certificate in religious Trauma.

Together we will usher in a journey of healing and growth to better understand ourselves, our relationships and environments around us.
