I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and hold a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology from the University of Ottawa. I bring extensive experience supporting individuals through life's challenges and transitions.

 

I began my career working with students at Carleton University and have since spent many years at Trafalgar Addiction Treatment Centres, where I served as both a psychotherapist and clinical manager.

 

My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can build insight, develop healthier coping skills, heal from past experiences, and create meaningful change.

 

As a mother of two, I have a deep appreciation for the joys and challenges of motherhood. I understand how becoming a parent can bring profound changes—not only to daily life, but also to relationships and one's connection to self. Following my own postpartum experiences, I found that spending time on the farm and connecting with animals became an important part of rediscovering myself. The quiet presence of animals, time spent outdoors, and opportunities to reconnect with my own interests were deeply healing during a season of significant transition. These experiences have fostered a passion for supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, identity changes, parenting transitions, and the ongoing challenge of balancing their own needs while caring for others.

 

My connection to animals has been a lifelong one. I have grown up with Coleman (the black Morgan pictured here) since the age of five; he is now 30 years old. Regardless of my life stage, Coleman has remained a constant source of comfort, grounding, and connection. In honour of all that Coleman has brought to my life, I hope to provide that same healing and connection to others.
