I am a dedicated social worker with extensive experience in working with children, adolescents and adults in individual, couple and family therapy. I consider a strong therapeutic relationship to be the heart of effective and meaningful work, and aim to connect with clients from a place of empathy and non-judgment. My approach to therapy begins with gaining an understanding of each person as an individual, seeking better insight into their needs, wants and hopes around the process of therapy. In every session, I strive to create a safe, trusting and comfortable space to facilitate and promote openness, self-discovery, lasting healing, and growth. I firmly believe that each individual is an expert of their own experience. As such, I combine clients’ self-knowledge with my professional expertise to support clients in meeting their personal, social and emotional goals, maintaining a client-centered, strengths-based, and solution-focused approach in my practice.
My areas of clinical expertise include navigating anxiety and depression; life transitions and adjustment difficulties; interpersonal, marital and familial relationship issues and conflict; separation and divorce; trauma; communication challenges; child abuse/neglect; grief, loss and bereavement; and prenatal and postpartum transitions. I work collaboratively with clients, drawing on various evidence-based therapeutic techniques and modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed counselling. I work collaboratively with clients, and adapt such change-focused treatment modalities to best suit a client’s needs. Together we will identify, process and modify patterns of thoughts and behaviours that give rise to emotional challenges or impede on clients reaching their vision of a preferred future. I support my clients in leveraging personal strengths and resources, promoting more positive ways of thinking. I strive to empower clients to strengthen existing skills, learn strategies, and acquire new skills to achieve their therapeutic goals and create meaningful change.
Everyone’s experiences are deeply personal and unique. Together, we can find a path forward to help you feel more grounded, supported, and in control of your life.

I’m committed to creating a space where you feel seen, supported, and understood. I believe that healing grows through connection — when you’re met with empathy, curiosity, and genuine care.
My practice is grounded in a trauma-informed, client-centred approach. I’ve worked across a variety of care settings, including mental health clinics, hospitals, trauma rehabilitation, and child protection services. This range of experience allows me to support individuals, teens, children, and couples as they navigate anxiety or depression, process trauma, strengthen relationships, face systemic barriers, or move through major life transitions.
My experience also includes working with people healing from injury-related trauma, neurodiverse children and their families, and those managing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. I’ve supported clients in building emotional regulation, improving communication, enhancing daily functioning, and connecting with meaningful community supports. I understand that many people and families carry complex histories, and I strive to offer a space where those experiences can be explored without pressure or judgment.
In our sessions, collaboration and emotional safety come first. I’m not here to give you a list of answers — I’m here to help you feel grounded, supported, and empowered as you make sense of your experiences. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, building clarity, resilience, and confidence along the way.
If you or your family are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for change, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you.

I am an experienced Social Worker with more than twenty years of dedicated service supporting children, youth, and families through a wide range of complex life challenges. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with families navigating separation and divorce, and I have supported individuals facing concerns related to mental health, developmental disabilities, substance use, alcohol misuse, and family violence.
My work has included leading sensitive investigations into child abuse and neglect, giving me a deep appreciation for the importance of safety, compassion, and careful decision-making. I bring extensive experience working alongside marginalized and underserved communities, and I am committed to practicing from an anti-racist, anti-oppressive framework that honours the lived experiences of every person I work with.
I approach my practice with a calm, grounded presence and a strong belief in empathy, collaboration, and strength-based support. Having worked with children across all developmental stages—and as both a parent and step-parent myself—I understand the emotional complexities, stressors, and joys that come with raising children and blending families. This personal insight helps me connect with caregivers in a genuine, relatable, and supportive way.
Over the past two decades, I have built my career on the foundation of compassion, integrity, and a deep commitment to helping families thrive. I remain passionate about creating safe, respectful spaces where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered to take meaningful steps forward.
I am dedicated to ongoing professional growth and staying informed about best practices in the field. I regularly participate in training, workshops, and collaborative learning opportunities to ensure the support I offer reflects current research and emerging approaches. My goal is always to provide services that are thoughtful, ethical, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual and family I work with.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to supporting children, teens, adults, couples, and families as they navigate life’s most tender, challenging, and transformative moments. My work is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and deeply understood—especially when life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming.
In our time together, my priority is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are. A space where your story is honored, your emotions are welcomed, and your experiences are met with empathy, curiosity, and respect. I believe that healing grows through connection, and I strive to help you feel grounded, supported, and empowered to move toward the life you want.
My professional journey has taken me into many homes, schools, and community settings, offering support to people across all stages of life. I’ve worked extensively with children and adolescents navigating emotional, behavioural, and developmental challenges; adults facing stress, grief, trauma, and life transitions; and couples and families working to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen their relationships.
A significant part of my background is rooted in child protection and foster care, where I walked alongside children, families, and caregivers during moments of crisis, uncertainty, and profound change. As a Child Protection Worker, I supported families in rebuilding safety and stability, helped children feel heard during vulnerable transitions, and collaborated with parents, caregivers, and community partners to nurture resilience and connection. In my work with foster families, I partnered closely with caregivers to support attachment, address behavioural challenges, and create nurturing environments where children could begin to heal and thrive. I’ve also had the privilege of mentoring social work students, encouraging them to cultivate thoughtful, reflective, and relationship centered practice.
These experiences shape my approach today—one rooted in authenticity, cultural sensitivity, compassion, and a deep respect for the complexity of each person’s story. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, your partnership, or your family, I’m here to walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and unwavering support.
