About My practice

Welcome! I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#12769) with over a decade of experience offering effective and specialized psychotherapy.

As a former special education teacher, I have a passion for childhood and adolescent mental health and working with neurodiverse people of all ages, including those with autism, Down Syndrome, ADHD, and behavioural challenges. My belief is that counselling should be available and accessible for all developmental and intellectual abilities, and I happily adapt my services to match specific needs of clients. I often consult on multi-disciplinary teams and provide consultation and school observations.

I currently work part-time as a counsellor in the public school system, so I understand how stressful it can be when your child has been labelled as “different” and the needs of families trying to support school-aged children, inlcuding teenagers. I provide guidance for caregivers who are going through autism diagnoses and how to access agency/MCFD resources. My work with with caregivers typically involves addressing behavioural and parenting challenges and understanding attachment patterns. I also continue to support adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, work stress and trauma. My certification in Trauma Focused Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy helps me work with thoughts and feelings from a trauma lens and keep clients’ emotional safety at the forefront of our time together.

My personal experience in building my own family has led me to a unique expertise in supporting people who are navigating the reproductive health and fertility journey. I understand this process from all stages and can guide you through the many overwhelming and complex decisions and feelings that come with it. This includes: infertility/trying to conceive; pregnancy loss; all fertility treatments and tests, such as AMH, HSG, IVF, IUI; third-party reproduction planning; prenatal/postpartum mental health; and endometriosis and PCOS.
