I primarily work with adults who want to better understand themselves, move beyond patterns that are no longer working, and feel more capable of managing what is happening in their lives. I supports clients with concerns such as trauma, emotional regulation, relationships, major life transitions, and difficult experiences that continue to affect how they think, feel, or respond.

I have a particular interest in attachment and intergenerational trauma. Early experiences can influence relationships, boundaries, communication, parenting, and beliefs about oneself well into adulthood. In counselling, I help clients explore where these patterns began while also developing practical skills they can use in everyday life.

I also supports parents and caregivers when a child’s emotional or behavioural needs are creating challenges at home. This may include parent coaching, behavioural consultation, support with communication and family routines, or sessions involving the child. My focus is on helping caregivers understand what may be contributing to a child’s behaviour and identify responses that fit their family, rather than providing ongoing individual counselling to children. My approach is compassionate, straightforward, and collaborative. I bring professional knowledge and a different perspective while recognizing that clients know their own lives and circumstances best. My work is grounded in attachment theory and trauma-informed care. I draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy based on each client’s needs and goals.

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology degree and a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Psychology. In addition to my counselling practice, I work for a school division as a Family School Liaison, supporting students and families with emotional, behavioural, social, and home-related concerns.
