More Than Just My Work: In my spare time, you can find me in the stable with my horse. Iโ€™m an avid equestrian and have been around horses since I was 7. Itโ€™s where I find my peace and joy. I also enjoy a good book and time with my family.

โ€œFind your peace and live in it.โ€

It can feel challenging to know where to begin. I am here to help guide you through the process so that youโ€™re not in this alone. I focus on building a trusting relationship to foster a climate of support, hope, and growth.

I offer a client-centered approach that draws from various modalities of therapy and focuses on your needs, strengths, and goals. Letโ€™s work together at your own pace with small sustainable goals that will help you to become the best version of yourself. Additionally, I offer โ€œwalk and talkโ€ therapy to engage both the body, mind, and step away from a traditional office setting.

I am a Registered Social Worker with the College of Social Workers and a registered member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers. I completed my undergraduate degrees in Sexuality Studies and Gender studies. I then went on to complete my Masterโ€™s in Social Work at Wilfrid Laurier University (2017). I have also volunteered for Sarnia-Lambton Victim Services.
