As a former child, teen, and young adult, I know how important it is to have the support, connection, and safety to explore life's biggest joys, obstacles, and everything in between. We are all deserving of that. I work from a space of curiosity, compassion, authenticity and meeting everyone where they are on their journey. I also believe in the power of joy, laughter, and play where it feels right.

​

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Master of Social Work, both from Wilfrid Laurier University. My background brings experience from children's community mental health, and the school board, as well as my 8 years at The Lighthouse for Grieving Children where I helped to develop programming, coordinate and facilitate grief support groups, and provide consultations and service navigation to families and professionals province and nation-wide.

In our our work together, I draw from various therapeutic modalities including play therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), expressive arts, mindfulness, and self-compassion practices. While these practices are utilized, my work is client-centred and I work with each client to meet their needs in any given session. I approach our work together from a holistic view; exploring possibilities to support all parts of the self; mind, body, and soul.

When I am not connecting with awesome humans, you can find me connecting with loved ones, letting my inner foodie shine in the kitchen, spending time outside, devouring a book, or travelling. I am a life-long learner, passionate about community and connection, and a constantly-evolving human, just like you.
