A Bit About Me
I earned my Master’s Degree from Western University and began my career supporting grieving families. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of being alongside people during some of their most difficult seasons, offering both a space to process and provide practical skills to help in day-to-day life. As your therapist I bring empathy, compassion, and a steady presence to help you navigate whatever life may bring.

About My Therapy Approach
I believe therapy is a collaborative process. We’ll work side-by-side to make sense of your experiences, understand yourself a little better, and figure out what changes you want to make. Along the way, we may explore how your past experiences, relationships, and attachment patterns have shaped the way you see yourself and interact with others. Sometimes understanding where certain patterns come from is an important first step toward doing things differently.
I enjoy incorporating a variety of skills and approaches based on what works best for you. Some of these include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused techniques, problem-solving strategies, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This means we'll not only talk through what's going on, but also work on practical skills you can take with you outside of our sessions. We'll look at patterns that may be keeping you stuck, find new ways to approach challenges, and build on the strengths you already have. No two people are the same, so our work will always reflect what you need and what feels most helpful to you.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety or depression, working through past experiences, or simply wanting to make some changes in your day-to-day life, we'll figure out what moving forward looks like together.

What to Expect in Therapy
Therapy is a space to explore, grow, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want. Together we focus on helping you:
-
A Judgment-Free Space: Therapy works best when you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of being misunderstood.
-
Real-Life Support: We know life can be messy, and we meet you right where you are. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most, using practical strategies you can take with you outside of sessions.
-
Accountability & Encouragement: Change doesn’t happen overnight, but you don’t have to do it alone. We’ll support you while also keeping you accountable to the goals you set for yourself.
-
Personalized Care: Your story is unique, and so is our approach. We tailor therapy to fit your needs, goals, and pace.
-
Compassion & Honesty: You’ll be met with understanding, encouragement, and the kind of honest feedback that helps you grow.
-
Build Confidence & Personal Development: Strengthen your self-belief and develop tools to navigate challenges with confidence.
My Professional Journey
Mental Health Therapist
Hospice Social Worker
Substance Abuse Family Services Therapist
School Social Worker
As a mental health therapist, I support individuals navigating a variety of emotions and life challenges. I work closely with each person to help them process their feelings and achieve their unique goals. My approach focuses on building confidence, developing healthy coping skills, and empowering clients to feel more in control.
As a hospice social worker, I provide caring support through individual, group, and family sessions to help you begin and navigate the grieving process. In individual sessions, we focus on your personal journey, allowing space to explore your feelings and develop coping strategies tailored to your needs. Group and family settings offer a safe environment to share experiences, connect with others facing similar losses, and strengthen bonds with loved ones. Together, we work toward healing, resilience, and finding hope amid the challenges of grief.
I provided therapy for children, teens, and adults, helping them navigate challenges such as stress, grief and loss, family conflict, divorce, substance use, and co-occurring disorders. My approach includes both individual and group therapy, with experience in brief interventions as well as ongoing, long-term support. I focus on creating treatment plans that fit each person’s unique needs, whether that means addressing daily stressors or working through deeper struggles.
I am dedicated to supporting students as they navigate challenges, build confidence, and develop social and emotional skills. She believes that strong relationships and a supportive environment can make a meaningful difference in a student's growth and success.
A Peek Into My Life
I love spending time with my family, whether we’re exploring somewhere new or just enjoying the day together. Being outdoors is one of my favorite ways to recharge, sometimes that’s a walk in nature, other times it’s just sitting outside and taking in the fresh air. I also appreciate the quiet, cozy moments at home that help me reset.
