Hi there — I’m so glad you’re here!
 

Whether you’re a parent looking for support for your teen, or a young person navigating the ups and downs of growing up, you don’t have to do this alone.

II work with youth and young adults (up to age 21) who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life. Adolescence can be heavy - for both kids and parents and I consider it a privilege to step into that space with care. 

​

My approach to therapy is warm, creative, and real! Sometimes that looks like art or writing, and playing fun games. Sometimes it’s honest conversation and reflection. I believe the relationship between client and therapist is key - when you feel safe and understood, meaningful growth can happen. As your therapist, I aim to be compassionate, approachable, genuinely curious about your story, and encouraging right where you are.

​

I’m a Registered Social Worker (MCSW #4767) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I hold a Bachelor of Social Work from Booth University College and have experience in child welfare and school-based counselling. I’m currently working toward my Master’s in Counselling Psychology to continue growing in the work I love.

My goal is simple: to offer a safe, supportive space where young people feel seen, heard, and empowered to move forward in their own way.

​

As your therapist, you can expect me to be:

• Compassionate, relaxed and empathetic
• Approachable, fun-loving and down-to-earth
• Genuinely curious about your story
• Supportive, accepting, and kind
• Encouraging and validating right where you are

A little about me…

I’m a wife and mom to two very loved little boys - we welcomed our newest baby in early September 2025, and life has been beautifully full ever since. When I’m not in session, you’ll likely find me spending time with my family or sneaking in snuggles with our sweet dog, Luna. It’s an honor to walk alongside young people and their families through life’s hard and hopeful moments.
