Biography

I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor with over 25 years of experience in mental health, working with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I want you to feel comfortable and understood from our very first session.

I support clients navigating anxiety, perfectionism, depression, trauma, PTSD, negative thoughts, self-criticism, body image struggles, self-harm, and feelings of overwhelm. I also work with clients through the loss of a loved one, low confidence, anger management, work/life balance, and addictions — including porn, substances, phone, and gambling.

For couples and families, I help strengthen communication and repair connection through conflict, divorce, family transitions (including the struggles of a child launching from home), and other major life changes. I draw on Satir Family Systems and relationship-based approaches to help families move through difficulty together.

Outside the office, I’m a mom to two older teenage boys, so I understand family life from the inside, the chaos, the love, and everything in between.

I invite you to reach out for a complimentary consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
