I am a registered social worker and therapist at the W Experience Counselling and Wellness Services, supporting adolescents (14+) and adults through a range of mental health concerns. I hold an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology: Brain and Cognition from the University of Guelph and a Master of Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I began my career as an addiction counsellor, and have since worked in private practice and adolescent outpatient psychiatry. These experiences have shaped an integrative, client-centered style grounded in curiosity, compassion, and respect. I have a special interest in working with neurodivergent clients and those navigating trauma, identity and self-exploration, substance use, and relationship challenges. I believe therapy is not about fixing, but about creating space for insight, healing, and growth.

I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Polyvagal Informed Therapy, Trauma Informed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, and Motivational Interviewing. It would be my honour to walk alongside you in your journey toward greater clarity and connection.
