Accepting New Clients - I work with adult clients with a variety of presenting concerns including but not limited to anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, perfectionism, life transitions, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.

My therapeutic approach draws on several evidence-based modalities including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), emotion focused therapy (EFT), and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) interventions.

I'm interested in helping mental health and healthcare workers, education workers, and first responders cope with the demands of these challenging and rewarding careers. I enjoy helping individuals overcome burnout and find their spark again. I am passionate about assisting families coping with perinatal mental health issues, birth and reproductive trauma, as well as the complexity that comes along with parenthood. I also assist adolescents and families navigate through crisis of suicidal ideation and attempts. I strive to help clients find balance in their life and feel like they are empowered and thriving.

There is nothing as fulfilling and rewarding as being the best version of yourself. However, it’s a process. Along the journey of life, you may feel overwhelmed, frustrated or even stuck. Sometimes, in a bid to unstuck or fill the void, we latch on to something else that creates more problems. It could also be inability to let go of the past pain.

I am a Registered Social Worker with a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology and a Master’s of Social Work. I have been working primarily in the mental health and addiction’s sector for the past 10 years.

Inc. is proud to offer professional Therapy services for Lambton-Kent and the surrounding area. We have offices in Wallaceburg, Chatham, Walpole Island First Nation and Sarnia. Therapy can be done in-person, by telephone or virtually.

Growing up, I just assumed everybody didn’t like themselves. I thought there were people that were open about not liking themselves, and then the rest of us pretending to like ourselves. It was the work I did in therapy that helped me learn there was this wild third option of “actually liking and appreciating myself”. Now I have the joy of sharing that with people as they learn they don’t have to feel so angry, worried, afraid, sad, or guilty all of the time.
