Life hands us a lot sometimes. With over 20 years of experience, I have helped people coping with depression, trauma, anxiety, grief, stress, burnout, post-traumatic stress, life transitions including end-of-life, and general self-care needs. Personal experiences in our healthcare system has enabled me to also offer services specific to medical journeys such as new diagnoses, preparation and support for procedures, scans and other events that may increase stress and anxiety. As I’ve learned, journeys within our healthcare system require support that can keep stress and anxiety at a minimum.

I believe that the most important stories are the ones we tell ourselves. At times in our lives, these stories can cause us to get stuck, be led off course, or feel overwhelmed by our emotions. I see therapy as a space to understand and explore the impact of our thoughts, beliefs, and actions on our emotional experience. Through this exploration, you can gain a greater understanding of yourself and learn valuable skills to improve your mental health. I aim to work collaboratively with my clients to help them engage in this process and to achieve meaningful and lasting change.

I believe that every person is doing their best to navigate the many parts of life. When I think of therapy, I imagine someone rowing, and encountering challenging waters. Navigating unexpected circumstances requires thinking outside the box so they can reach their destination. Throughout their journey, they gain new perspectives because of both the challenges and beauty encountered along the way. I am here to row with you, entering the unknown together. I have always been passionate about holding space for others. I provide a safe, warm, approachable, and non-judgemental space for my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I’m so sorry that you’re looking for a grief therapist, and have a lot of respect for your courage. I’ve spent the last ten years deep in the muddy waters of loss, devoted to the skillful practice of grieving in community. I am a board-certified thanatologist who has studied grief from embodied, academic, cultural, and psychotherapeutic perspectives. I’ve worked with grief across various sectors— in hospitals and hospices, in community deathcare, as an apprentice farmer and Bruce Trail captain amidst an ongoing climate crisis, and on the frontlines of the opioid epidemic.

You didn't expect or plan your life to be like this. It wasn't supposed to be this hard. You're struggling with things that you thought you were over. Your relationship with your partner and/or children feels painful; there is a better way to connect but it seems hopeless. You want to feel comfortable with yourself, in your skin, and with others but just can't seem to. You're asking yourself "Why can't I get it together?" or "How come I can't just get over this?". You might wonder if people are judging you. You're so ready for you, your life, and your relationships to be peaceful and fun again. Welcome, I can't wait to meet you.

It can be difficult to reach out for support when we find ourselves adrift in the ocean of our lives. Perhaps you've momentarily let go of your anchor and don't know how to find your way back or maybe you've been floating on your own for as long as you remember. Your circumstances and experiences are unique, but you don't have to be alone on your journey. I strive to use my professional training and unique insight from my lived experience to create a safe, non-judgmental and collaborative space where you can be free to explore your identity, experiences and internal processes.
