Are you experiencing changes or shifts in your life? Feeling like some aspects of your life don’t quite feel right anymore, but you’re not sure what comes next? Endings followed by new beginnings can be simultaneously exciting and disorienting. You may know you’re ready for something different, without knowing exactly what “different” looks like yet.
I help individuals move through big life transitions with clarity and confidence. Together, we’ll figure out a road map for what comes next and build emotional tools to help you move forward. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. Drawing on 20+ years of experience in the helping field, I bring curiosity and compassion to help you navigate the next chapter of your life.
I’m a Registered Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Dalhousie University. I work with children, teenagers, and adults. With children 6+, I use play-based and art-based techniques and have experience working with neurodivergence, with a focus on emotional regulation, transitions, and friendship and interaction skills. For teens and adults, I have a particular interest in life transitions, mid-life reinventions, and emotional regulation.
I’m an avid reader and my favourite way to recharge is with a book in my hammock. Walks in nature with my greyhound also bring me peace. I play piano and enjoy all things related to the arts. I love the process of planning trips almost as much as I love travel itself, and I enjoy hearing about people’s world travels. I’ve been studying karate for several years and I’m on my way to a black belt, hopefully soon!
