I am a clinical intern at Sweet Spot Family Counselling Services. My approach combines professional expertise with a down-to-earth understanding of real-life struggles. Whether it's helping teens navigate ADHD, supporting adults with anxiety, or assisting couples in strengthening their bonds, I firmly believe in everyone's capacity for growth and resilience. With my background in neuroscience and psychology, we'll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours intersect, and together, we’ll craft strategies for meaningful progress. With training in various therapeutic techniques, I'm equipped to address a range of challenges.
I am passionate about helping people work through relationship struggles. Together, we will focus on managing conflict in a meaningful way, building—or re-building—trust and intimacy, and supporting one another’s goals and dreams. I believe in happily ever after—and I also know that it takes commitment, skills, compassion and support to get there!
About me: I spent many years as a practising lawyer. I have been married for over twenty-five years, am a mom, stepmom, and lifelong student. In my spare time, I mountain bike, practise yoga and spend as much time outdoors as possible. Most of all, I love connecting with people. I would be delighted to have a conversation with you!
