Focus areas

My Approach

I specialize in individualized and collaborative therapy for adults, couples, and families. With a Master of Social Work degree and a background in Human Resources, I bring a rich understanding of the complexities of human relationships to my practice. Just as each person is unique, so too should be the therapy process. My flexible approach allows us to customize our work to fit your unique needs and goals.

In our sessions, I incorporate a variety of therapeutic techniques, recognizing that using different tools in a collaborative way can be the most effective path to achieving your goals. Together, we will identify the approach that feels right for you, creating a nurturing environment where you can express yourself openly.

Areas of Support

I am here to support you as you navigate life’s challenges, whether you’re looking to strengthen personal relationships or make meaningful changes within yourself. This includes managing family stress from marital changes, bereavement, or job loss, as well as coping with the pressures of work, school, or social situations. For families with behavioural or special needs children, I can act as a resource to help you navigate complex educational and mental health systems.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing and growth.
