Compassionate Counselling for Teens, Parents, Couples & Families.

If you or your family are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, family transitions, or the complexities of children’s mental health, counselling can provide a safe place to pause, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and find a path forward.

I consider it a privilege to come alongside people of all ages and in all circumstances. I believe each person’s life experiences are unique and deserving of care, compassion, and respect. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based: I work with you to understand what is happening, identify your goals, and develop practical strategies that support meaningful and lasting change.

I have a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with more than 25 years of experience in the mental health field. Much of my work has focused on children, adolescents, parents, and caregivers, including families navigating childhood mental health concerns, learning and sensory challenges, grief, trauma, and difficult transitions.

I have particular experience supporting parents and families, including those navigating the challenges of parenting, caregiving, grief and loss, and accessing mental health resources. I am a licensed provider of a children of divorce program and the Bringing Baby Home program, and have taught courses in parenting, couples communication, childhood trauma, grief, boundaries and emotional regulation.

My professional experience is complemented by personal experience with caregiving for elderly parents, grief and loss, parenting two daughters who joined our family through open transracial adoption, and raising children with learning and sensory integration challenges, ADHD, anxiety and trauma. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the complexities of family life and the many ways families find their way through challenging seasons.

I provide evidence-based counselling for:

- Anxiety and depression
- Children and adolescent mental health
- ADHD
- Parenting and family concerns
- Caregiver stress and support
- Support for those caring for someone with dementia
- Grief and loss
- Trauma and difficult life experiences
- Relationship and communication challenges
- Premarital and couples counselling
- Separation, divorce, and family transitions
- Major life transitions and adjustment

My therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Therapy, couples communication strategies, caregiver support, and psychoeducation. I work from an attachment based and trauma informed lens. I tailor counselling to each individual, couple, or family rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

At the heart of my work is the belief that people have the capacity to discover their own strengths, develop new perspectives, and create meaningful change. I find deep joy in helping people reconnect with themselves and others, discover their own truths, and move toward a life in which they can feel a greater sense of connection, belonging, and hope.

I offer virtual counselling for clients who are unable to attend in person, using a privacy-law-compliant video platform.

I also provide clinical supervision and consultation and am available for speaking engagements and workshop facilitation.
