About Me
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to supporting children, teens, adults, couples, and families as they navigate life’s most tender, challenging, and transformative moments. My work is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and deeply understood—especially when life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming.
​
In our time together, my priority is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are. A space where your story is honored, your emotions are welcomed, and your experiences are met with empathy, curiosity, and respect. I believe that healing grows through connection, and I strive to help you feel grounded, supported, and empowered to move toward the life you want.
​
My professional journey has taken me into many homes, schools, and community settings, offering support to people across all stages of life. I’ve worked extensively with children and adolescents navigating emotional, behavioural, and developmental challenges; adults facing stress, grief, trauma, and life transitions; and couples and families working to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen their relationships.
​
A significant part of my background is rooted in child protection and foster care, where I walked alongside children, families, and caregivers during moments of crisis, uncertainty, and profound change. As a Child Protection Worker, I supported families in rebuilding safety and stability, helped children feel heard during vulnerable transitions, and collaborated with parents, caregivers, and community partners to nurture resilience and connection. In my work with foster families, I partnered closely with caregivers to support attachment, address behavioural challenges, and create nurturing environments where children could begin to heal and thrive. I’ve also had the privilege of mentoring social work students, encouraging them to cultivate thoughtful, reflective, and relationship centered practice.
​
These experiences shape my approach today—one rooted in authenticity, cultural sensitivity, compassion, and a deep respect for the complexity of each person’s story. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, your partnership, or your family, I’m here to walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and unwavering support.
