Hi, Welcome! A bit about myself. I am a compassionate, empathetic and skilled therapist who has been successfully helping clients explore and honor their feelings, while creating change and achieving a greater sense of their own worth. I have over 18 years experience providing individual and couple counselling.

I draw from several treatment modalities including Client Centered, Emotionally Focused and Solution Focused therapy. I work from an Anti-Oppressive and Strengths based approach. I am honored to help clients shift from living with thoughts of sadness, worry, negative beliefs and difficult circumstances, to helping my clients be more present, exploring and working towards a happy life with healthy boundaries, prioritized self care and an increased sense of fulfillment.

I also provide relationship and couple counselling, where I help couples understand their patterns, and how to connect differently. I explore with partners how to express and hear each other’s needs, creating a deeper emotional connection.

I have years of experience providing counselling for clients. I worked for McMaster University providing counselling for students for 17 years, and have now been working in my own practice for the past 13 years. I graduated from York University with an Undergraduate degree in Psychology and an Undergraduate degree in Social Work. I then graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University in 2005 with my Masters of Social Work. I attend ongoing professional development. I am a member in good standing of The Ontario Association of Professional Social Workers and the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I am responsible to adhere to the standards of practice set by the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.
