Counselling
MY APPROACH
Living through difficult times or personal traumas takes a toll on our health, mood, and outlook. While there is no way to avoid distress and adversity in life, there are ways to regain a sense of control. Building resilience can help to better adapt to life-changing events, cope in difficult times, and bounce back from hardships. I hold an empowerment-based practice approach, assisting people to discover personal strengths and capacities and recognize the choices they have in difficult circumstances.
I consider it an honour and privilege to be invited into the lives of others and to have the opportunity to provide encouragement druring life’s challenges. I believe every person matters, and I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where people feel safe, heard, and understood.

I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT...
Outside of work, you’ll most likely find me at the hockey rink, enthusiastically cheering on my son, or spending quality time with my family. I often find myself engaging in playful, goofy conversations with my beloved fur-babies, always creating lighthearted moments. As a fun-loving mom, I’m someone who laughs easily, cracks jokes, and enjoys spreading joy and laughter wherever I go.
Whether at home or in my professional life, I believe in the power of building strong, meaningful connections with others. I strive to uplift those around me, encourage positivity, and always find joy in life’s small, everyday moments. It’s these moments of connection and shared happiness that truly make life meaningful.
