We all have a story.
Our stories help us to process and understand our experiences, histories, and relationships.
Within a supportive relationship, counselling provides an opportunity to give voice to your experiences and discover new language for greater insight, self-understanding, and personal meaning.
In my practice, I’m committed to creating a caring and non-judgmental environment where we can explore collaboratively. I understand our individual stories as deeply interwoven with our families, communities, and histories, and recognize that our stories and experiences are also embodied. Together, we can attend to how your stories have been shaped, carried, and understood over time.
In finding your voice, you can safely challenge difficult thoughts, confront shame, and cultivate self-compassion. This process can help you reconnect with your inherent resilience and move toward authentic discovery, growth, and meaningful change.
Grounded in an approach that honours diverse ways of healing, knowing, and being, I prioritize your self-determination and work with you at a pace that fits your needs and goals. Whether you are looking for short-term, solution-focused support or deeper, longer-term exploration, our work can be shaped around what feels meaningful and supportive for you.
You do not have to carry your stories alone. Together, we can explore how to shape our work around what feels meaningful for you.
About Me
I’ve been providing support to individuals and communities for more than 20 years. I’m committed to social justice and strive to work from a feminist, anti-racist, anti-oppressive perspective.
With extensive experience in counselling, public education, communications, advocacy, and community building, I’ve supported projects across not-for-profit organizations and community-based initiatives.
Areas of specialization in my practice include depression, anxiety, self-esteem and body image, grief, pet loss, personal and professional growth, and interpersonal and relationship issues.
I’m registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers & Social Service Workers and I’m a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers.
Why a social worker?*
Social workers are unique among helping professionals because they explore the challenges people face within the context of their families and communities and consider the connection between personal challenges and larger social issues. Social workers help identify the source of stress or difficulty, help people to develop coping skills and find effective solutions to the challenges they face, offer various forms of counselling and therapy, and mediate between conflicts.

Workshops
In addition to my counselling work, I have experience facilitating groups and delivering workshops on a range of topics related to storytelling and wellbeing.
My approach creates supportive, engaging spaces where participants can reflect, connect, and explore personal growth through shared narrative and creative expression.
