In my 24 years of clinical practice, I have had the privilege of working with a large number of clients, from university students to people in their 80s. I embrace diversity and it is important to me to build a space for my clients to feel safe and understood. I am approachable and easy to talk to, and I work at putting my clients at ease. I enjoy using humour in therapy; we can have fun even as we do important work together! My goal for my clients is that they find value and meaning in their lives, and I endeavor to give them tools to feel more empowered and fulfilled.

As an introvert, my time outside of work is spent at home with my cats and my family. I love to travel and then make scrapbooks to remember my adventures. I am a self-proclaimed Disney adult, and I enjoy reading, video games and being crafty.
