Who am I?
MY PASSIONS
My path to counselling began long before my formal training. My personal and professional values have always been guided by a strong sense of empathy and a genuine desire to help others, a quality I've carried since childhood. This passion led me to volunteer with Restorative Justice and Victim Services and eventually pursue a career in Social Work and Corrections. Today, my practice is built on that same foundation of empathy.
Outside of my practice, you can find me enjoying the simple moments with my kids and pets, cheering on my son at the hockey rink, or recharging on my annual trip with my best friends. I hold a deep belief that healing and hope can be found in even the smallest moments, and I'm honored to help others find that path.

MY APPROACH
Counselling
Living through difficult times or personal traumas takes a toll on our health, mood, and outlook. While there is no way to avoid distress and adversity in life, there are ways to regain a sense of control. Building resilience can help to better adapt to life-changing events, cope in difficult times, and bounce back from hardships. I hold an empowerment-based practice approach, assisting people to discover personal strengths and capacities and recognize the choices they have in difficult circumstances.
My therapeutic philosophy centers on the belief that healing happens when we feel truly seen and valued. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their experiences, validate their feelings, and help them identify their own wisdom and inner resources. Through this process, we can uncover new perspectives and develop practical strategies that align with their values and goals.
I understand that seeking therapy requires courage, and I approach each session with genuine respect for the trust my clients place in me. My practice is rooted in creating an environment where vulnerability is met with compassion, where struggles are normalized, and where growth is celebrated in all its forms.
I believe every person matters, and I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where people feel safe, heard, and understood.
