I am a social worker and have been working in the mental health field for 15 years. I started my career working with families experiencing homelessness and addiction. This work sparked an interest in the connection between traumatic events in early life and mental health problems in adulthood. I am hear to listen, provide a non-judgmental space and support you. I have a particular interest in working with complicated grief and with families struggling to parent children with challenging behaviour. I believe that change takes place when people connect with their emotional experience. I focus on models of therapy that will help you better understand and regulate your emotions. I am working toward certification in Emotion Focused therapy.

I have inspired to become a Psychologist my entire life! I believe people are fascinating, social beings, I strive for everyone to feel connected. For more than two decades I have worked with human services, most recently, first responders. My varied and unique experiences help me, help you! I specialize in mental health conditions related to trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions and unhealthy coping strategies, within all age groups. My primary focus in therapeutic sessions are providing a safe and non-judgmental space to uncover your strengths and achieve clarity to your challenges. I begin sessions from a client focused approach, and am able to bring in other modalities as needed that that promote positive growth.

I am committed to foster a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients while working with them. Each person I work with is unique, as such, I use strength-based, relational approach focused on resiliency and long-lasting change. Collaborative process is key – this is your life and together we will clarify and explore what’s truly important and meaningful to you. You will feel heard and understood in the therapeutic relationship, as you gain new insight, explore skills/resources, and take purposeful actions that create change and balance. I appreciate the amount of courage that it can take to reach out for support, and I look forward to working with you through your process towards meaningful change.
