Welcome
Supporting you to feel seen, safe, and understood
Finding Calm, Connection, and Clarity- Together.
If you’re feeling stretched thin managing your own anxiety, trauma, or emotional overwhelm while also supporting a child or teen with big emotions or neurodivergent needs you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with are doing their best to hold everything together, yet still end each day feeling depleted and unsure how to make things feel lighter.
I offer a calm, grounding space where both your experiences and your child’s needs can be understood with compassion. Together, we slow things down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and build practical, steady tools that support connection, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of safety within yourself and within your family.

Neurodivergence
A child who is not accepted for who they are does not learn how to love and accept themself. I have a strong passion for providing a neurodiversity-affirming, brain and relationship based approach to counselling and psychotherapy that respects how each individual shows up in this world

Parenting can be one of the most rewarding and most challenging experiences in life.

Education & Qualifications
As a Registered Social Worker in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, I bring together formal training, lived experience, and ongoing personal growth to create a safe, grounded, and trauma-informed counselling space for clients of all ages. I am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and am a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW). My training includes:
• Honours Bachelor of Social Work – Algoma University

My experience includes supporting children, youth, adults, and parents through individual therapy, life transitions, employment challenges, crisis situations, and trauma.

These diverse experiences continue to shape the compassionate, respectful support I offer in my private practice today.
“Healing is not about becoming perfect or erasing pain. It’s about learning to be compassionate with ourselves in our brokenness and allowing our true selves to emerge.”
