Women’s Health and Wellbeing
My story is not unique to me. It is one that so many women have experienced. I have suffered alone, in silence, in fear, in shame. My journey of infertility, complex pregnancy losses, birth trauma and adjustment to motherhood (aka postpartum depression) was fraught with so many challenges. And, I struggled alone. As I navigate hormonal changes and menopause, I have chosen to build a community around me, so that I am less alone and that my own family can navigate this with me in a healthy, supportive and dynamic way.
This is my why. Loneliness and isolation, self-doubt and shame can be debilitation - I do not want that for you. It can be incredibly empowering when we are seen, heard and validated and given the opportunity to process our struggles and then create tools and strategies to navigate life as our most authentic self. My goal for my clients is to empower you to have the confidence, knowledge and support to navigate your hormonal cycles. PMS, PMDD, Perimenopause and Menopause have carried such stigma and breaking free from this can be done through support, validation, education and compassion. Knowledge and self-acceptance can be keys to building tools and strategies to thrive and build your support system, as opposed to living in fear and dread of “what’s next”.
This work is a true privilege. Building a safe therapeutic space is critical to creating change. Humour, honesty, education, validation and empowerment are how I show up for you so that you can trust yourself and be the person you truly aspire to be.

Men
As a dedicated social worker specializing infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma and adjustment to parenthood, I am committed to providing compassionate support and practical guidance for men navigating the emotional and psychological challenges of infertility. Understanding that infertility can be a profound and often isolating experience, my approach is tailored to address the unique needs and concerns of men facing this journey.
Infertility can impact many aspects of life, including self-esteem, relationships, and overall well-being. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore these feelings openly and work towards finding effective coping strategies.
In our sessions, you can expect a compassionate and understanding environment where your concerns are taken seriously. I use evidence-based techniques and a person-centered approach to tailor our work to your specific needs. Confidentiality and respect are cornerstones of my practice, ensuring that you feel safe and supported throughout our work together.

Grief and Loss
I am a dedicated social worker with specialized training in grief and loss, including pediatric palliative care. My mission is to provide compassionate, comprehensive support to individuals and families navigating the profound challenges of serious illness and end-of-life care. With a deep understanding of the emotional and psychological impacts of grief and loss, I am committed to helping you find solace, strength, and support during these difficult times.
I have completed advanced training in grief and loss counseling, pediatric palliative care, and adult oncology and palliative care. My professional experience includes working with individuals and families in both pediatric and adult settings, and I am dedicated to ongoing education to provide the highest level of care.
If you are seeking support in managing grief, loss, or navigating palliative care, I invite you to reach out for a consultation. Together, we can explore your needs and develop a plan to support you through this challenging time.

Athlete and Parent Support
As a former provincial and varsity athlete, Boston Marathoner and Ironman Finisher (top 10 in age group) I understand sport and what sport can mean to an athlete and their family. I am one of a select few Canadians who has successfully completed the IOC Diploma in Elite Mental Health Sport which further informs my practice and work with athletes and their support system.
As a mom of 2 nationally ranked athletes, I understand, see and feel the pressures today’s athletes face. From goals, schedules, academics, friends/social and the recruiting process, I understand, and I see you. Having a safe space to unpack all that you are navigating is critically important to your success, wellbeing and development.
The saying “it takes a village” is never truer then when supporting high performing athletes. I deeply understand the pressures that parents feel – the uncertainty of how to show up for your kid, holding space for the ups, downs, tears and wins. As a parent, it can be so hard to know when and how to “just be there”, to give them a hug, to be a cheerleader or a shoulder to cry on, to know when to advocate and when to take a deep breath. Parents of high performing athletes need support, and I am passionate about showing up for you to help gain clarity on how you can show up for your kid and for yourself.
