I am a clinical social worker with over 20 years of service supporting children and families. I graduated with an Master of Social Work degree from Dalhousie University and have provided training and consultation to social workers across Ontario, Alberta, and Michigan. I specialize in fostering resilience, mindfulness, connection, and empowerment, working with children under 12 and adults of all ages. I use therapeutic approaches such as Solution-Focused and Narrative Therapy, and Somatic EMDR to empower my clients to navigate life’s challenges. I particularly enjoy supporting overwhelmed parents and those navigating the challenges of co-parenting. As a certified Diabetes and Mental Health practitioner, I bring personal and professional insight to supporting clients dealing with chronic illness. Throughout the counselling process, I aim to provide a warm, non-judgmental space for my clients, believing everyone possesses the capacity for joy, peace, and self-compassion.

I am also a bonus caregiver to my twin grandsons.  In my spare time, I love to crochet, quilt, hike, and play with my golden retriever puppy, “Honey.”
