Bio

Therapist. Human. Believer in growth, even when it’s messy.

With over 30 years of experience as a social worker and psychotherapist, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they navigate eating disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship ruptures, and the complicated terrain of being human.

My therapeutic style is collaborative, flexible, and grounded in compassion. I blend a variety of evidence-based practices: ie. CBT, CBT-E, and DBT, MI (motivational interviewing) and psychodynamic insight — because healing looks a little different for everyone. I meet you where you are, and we build from there.

I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto and have been a registered member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers since 1995. I’m also a current member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers.

Whether you’re untangling painful patterns or learning to trust yourself again, my job is to hold space, offer tools, and help you remember your capacity for healing and change.

I’m a proud mom to a wonderfully mixed crew of human and animal babies. I thrive on fresh air, sunshine, good books, delicious tea, and cozy blankets — especially when all five come together. Staying active (in nature whenever possible) is one of the ways I care for my own mental health.

One quote I come back to often is this:

“You don’t have to see the whole staircase — just take the first step.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.
 

Therapy can feel like that first step. If you're ready to explore what’s next, I’d love to connect.
