About Me

Life can be challenging, and it’s not uncommon to feel overwhelmed at times. Are you frequently worrying, struggling with your emotions, finding it hard to set boundaries (even with your kids), or navigating a difficult relationship or recent separation? I offer a supportive and compassionate space grounded in a non-judgemental approach, where we can work together to build greater self-awareness, improve your relationships with yourself and others, and find strategies for managing those overwhelming moments. Drawing from mindfulness, self-compassion, emotion-focused therapy, and attachment-based principles, I help clients deepen self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and develop tools to navigate overwhelming emotions. I’m also currently deepening my expertise with advanced training in Psychodramatic Bodywork through Susan Aaron.

I bring my previous experience of helping adults navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, childhood and domestic abuse, parenting, co-dependency, and separation to my practice. Additionally, I provide support to professionals working in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) who face the emotional and psychological toll of this demanding work.

In addition, I spent five years working as a Collaborative Family Law Professional, where I supported couples through the emotional challenges of separation and co-parenting. I bring this experience into my current practice, offering guidance to those considering separation or navigating the emotional complexities of the process.

My qualifications include:

Master of Social Work Degree: Children and Families, University of Toronto. 2018
Level 1 & 2: Collaborative Law training
Masters level course: Family Mediation, University of Toronto. 2018
Honours Bachelor of Arts Degree: Women’s Studies & English Literature, Trent University. 2010

On a personal level, I have embraced the joys and challenges of being a spouse, parent, single parent, stepparent, and grandparent, and bring the knowledge and wisdom of those experiences to my practice. I look forward to hearing from you.
