Practice information:

Welcome! I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#12769) with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults in a number of different ways. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, and women's health. My work is always collaborative and built on developing a trusting and safe relationship. Many clients come to therapy feeling "stuck" and we work together to determine where meaningful changes can be made using evidence-based practices. My goal is to make you feel understood and in control of this process, valuing your own wisdom. There is a visible gap in therapeutic services for women and hopeful parents who are navigating a challenging reproductive journey. I offer specialized support in this area and a safe space for LGBTQ+ families. 

As a school counsellor, I also understand the needs of families within the context of a bigger system and how stressful it can be when your child or teen has been labeled as "different" or is struggling. I remain passionate about child and adolescent mental health and have additional training in treating ADHD, neurodivergence (autism), and OCD. I often provide guidance for parents/caregivers who are receiving diagnoses, working with community schools, or trying to connect to agency resources. 

At the moment, I offer Telehealth (Online) Counselling only, but may be accepting clients in person again in the late Spring.
