Life's hardest moments rarely affect just one person—they ripple through families, friendships, and the relationships that matter most.
Perhaps you've experienced a traumatic event, the sudden loss of someone you love, a serious accident, or years of carrying the weight of complex trauma. Maybe you're trying to support a child, partner, parent, or sibling living with anxiety, depression, addiction, or thoughts of suicide, and you're finding yourself overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of how to help while also caring for yourself.
These experiences can change how we communicate, how we connect with one another, and even how we see ourselves.
I work with youth (12+) and adults who are navigating trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the impact these experiences have on individuals and families. While I provide individual therapy, I also support parents, caregivers, partners, and family members who are looking for guidance as they navigate the emotional challenges of supporting someone they love. Together, we can explore healthier ways of communicating, strengthen relationships, and help you feel more confident in responding to difficult situations with compassion and understanding.
Long before becoming a therapist, I spent years supporting individuals and families through crisis, catastrophic motor vehicle accidents, brain injury rehabilitation, traumatic loss, palliative care, and complex mental health challenges. Those experiences taught me that healing isn't just about what happened to us—it's also about how those experiences shape the people and relationships around us.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that healing happens through connection. Therapy offers a place to slow down, make sense of what you've been carrying, better understand the patterns that have developed over time, and begin creating new ways of relating to yourself and the people who matter most.
I also recognize that healing doesn't happen in isolation from everyday life. Alongside therapeutic support, I bring extensive experience helping people navigate complex systems, access community resources, and manage practical challenges that often accompany trauma, illness, caregiving, or significant life changes.
My work is informed by specialized training in Complex Trauma, Neurodiversity, Brain Injury Rehabilitation, Grief and Bereavement, Palliative Care, Crisis Intervention, Family Support, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Polyvagal-informed approaches, and Janina Fisher's Complex Trauma model. I have also completed training in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), further strengthening my work with relationship dynamics, communication, boundaries, and creating healthier, more connected relationships.
Whether you're healing from your own experiences or supporting someone through theirs, you don't have to navigate it alone. My hope is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move toward healing—both within yourself and in your relationships.
I am a Master's-level Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist providing virtual counselling across Ontario.
