Client Focus:

I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults and their families for ages 4-24 years old.

I understand how much change and transition occurs in a young person’s life as they go through these formative years, that I believe I can provide them a safe space to be who they are and seek support as they need. My clients have taught me that being present, kind, and empathic is key to creating a safe space for them to be themselves and build trust in our relationship.

I completed my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, following the completion of my undergraduate degree from the University of Guelph in Adult Development with a minor in Child, Youth and Family Studies in previous years.
