As a social worker, my goal is to provide support to individuals to overcome a variety of challenges through the use of evidence-based practice and clinical experience. Whether you are experiencing a life transition, recent loss, feeling down, relationship or general concerns, I am here to help.

My role is to support you to promote meaningful change to feel your best and live the life you envision.

The beauty of being human is that we are always evolving. Sometimes we can navigate through the challenges that life can pose on our own, and other times we may need a little extra support.

My goal is to help you find this path. Whether faced with a lifetime of challenges, or impacted by a single traumatic event, I bring empathy, warmth, compassion and understanding to the relationship. From that place of safety, I will support you to find the road to acceptance, healing, and peace of mind.

Millennial women may often find themselves navigating a myriad of challenges in their personal and professional lives.

If you're looking for someone to support you as you cope with functioning, I’m a warm, straightforward, and trustworthy therapist who certainly doesn’t see herself as the expert of your life (that’s you!). I am here to meet you where you’re at and guide you on your journey, going step-by-step while offering you empathy and validation along the way. Whether you're experiencing high levels of distress, anxiety, isolation, or hopelessness, I hope to create a safe space where we can explore approachable parts of yourself, while acknowledging the difficulties present in your life.

I frequently hear from the people I support, that it feels like no one is really listening. Our existing relationships often don’t allow us to be SEEN and HEARD accurately, in the way that we need to be seen and heard. My goal as a therapist, is to offer a compassionate, non-judgmental presence, where you can feel seen, heard, and valued. It is my belief that through a collaborative counselling relationship we can start to become more connected to ourselves, as well as to those around us.
