Alongside my professional training, I bring a wealth of life experience to my counselling practice. I am a proud mother of four children. Parenting children with autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and mental health challenges has given me a deep appreciation for the complexities families face, and the resilience required to navigate them. Before pursuing counseling, I enjoyed a 25-year career as a professional cellist and teacher. These experiences have strengthened my ability to listen attentively, connect with others, and support personal growth with patience and empathy.

Sometimes life presents circumstances that challenge us beyond our ability to cope alone. Seeking help when we feel stuck is a sign of strength, not weakness. I equip my clients with the support and tools needed to move forward towards healing and change. I provide holistic therapy which respects my client’s beliefs and values. My approach integrates evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I tailor counselling to individual needs, recognizing that healing begins when we feel genuinely heard and understood. It is a privilege to walk alongside clients as they discover hope, resilience, and new possibilities for their lives.
