I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Family Relations Mediator with over 16 years of experience supporting children, youth, parents and families. My background includes counselling, mediation, and leading programs and initiatives that support women and at-risk youth within non-profit and government organizations.

I work with parents and families to strengthen communication, navigate conflict and better understand family dynamics. I aim to create a supportive, collaborative space where people can explore challenges, work through differences and develop practical ways forward.

I also work with adolescents ages 12–18, tailoring my approach to each young person's needs, experiences and goals. My work is youth-centred and grounded in respect for each client's individuality and background.

Whether supporting parents through family changes, helping couples work through relationship difficulties or working with adolescents navigating life's challenges, I value a thoughtful and respectful approach that meets people where they are.
