Social Worker

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, uncertain, or simply too heavy to carry on your own. You may be moving through a difficult life or career transition, feeling tension or distance in your relationships, or trying to make sense of experiences from the past that still affect you today. In moments like these, it’s natural to feel stuck or unsure about what the next step might be. Whatever has brought you here, you deserve a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly understood.
In therapy with me, you’ll find a calm, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where you can speak openly and explore what’s weighing on your mind and heart. Together, we’ll take the time to understand what you’ve been going through, gently explore patterns in your life and relationships, and begin to create new ways forward that feel more hopeful and aligned with the life you want to live.
My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, which means I approach our conversations with deep respect for your experiences and the courage it takes to share them. Healing and growth happen when people feel safe, seen, and supported, and my goal is to create that kind of space for you.
Many of the people I work with are navigating life or career transitions, working through relationship challenges, or trying to better understand family dynamics that feel complicated or painful. Others may be carrying the impact of past trauma, stress, or loss and are looking for a place where they can begin to process those experiences safely. Our work together focuses on helping you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your choices, and more supported in your relationships.
I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree, and my practice draws from several therapeutic approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Rather than relying on one single approach, I most often work from an eclectic perspective, thoughtfully integrating elements from these therapies to support your unique needs, experiences, and goals.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy staying active through sports, going for long hikes in the cool, crisp air, and spending time with friends and family. These moments of connection, movement, and balance remind me how important it is to nurture the parts of life that help us feel grounded and supported.
Reaching out for support can take courage, especially when things already feel difficult. If you’re considering therapy, please know that you don’t have to face things alone. I would be honoured to walk alongside you as you work toward greater understanding, healing, and meaningful change.
