​I am a mama to two elementary-aged kids. In my spare time I enjoy games night with my family, walks with friends in nature, crafting with my kids, reading, and listening to music or podcasts.
​
Being a parent has given me the 24/7 experience of raising a family; the larger-than-life love, the exhaustion, the learning curve at every developmental stage, and the self reflections inherent to the journey of parenting. I have a deep appreciation for the vulnerability of being a caregiver and asking for help from a professional during times of difficulty.
​
Similarly, I have sought counselling in my own life and leaned into the tenderness of being open with another. I believe in the benefits of counselling for adults as much as children.
I have a deep belief that we all hold an inner wisdom and light that is there to guide us in our darkest hours. Sometimes, we need a little help to find it.
​
I have a wide-ranging professional background in my over 20 years of experience, supporting people in some of their hardest moments in hospitals, community, and school settings.
I've worked with folks across the lifespan, specializing in neurodivergent individuals and those with developmental delays.
​
I recognize the privilege of being able to walk alongside folks in their most vulnerable moments, as they come to terms with their child’s differences or diagnoses, grieved losses of their own, and searched for the ground beneath their feet again.
You can expect a warm, non-judgemental welcome.
​
I create a safe, supportive space for you to be yourself, and tune into your inner strengths and start moving toward your preferred way of living.
