At the heart of psychotherapy is relationship. Feeling seen, accepted, and respected creates the conditions for growth, healing, and meaning-making—especially during times of grief or transition. The work is grounded in an ethic of non-judgment, inclusion, and unconditional positive regard, with attention to trust, safety, and mutual presence. You are not asked to perform, explain, or justify who you are here; the relationship itself becomes a steady place from which change can unfold.
I meet you where you are, attend carefully to your experience, and support the direction you want to move toward—when you are ready. This work is informed by a compassionate understanding of the many parts we each carry and the wisdom they hold.
Grief sits beneath many of the struggles people bring to therapy. It can follow a death, but it also arises through illness, caregiving, relationship changes, identity shifts, and other significant life transitions, rarely following a clear path or timeline.
At times, grief may begin even before a loss occurs, as we live with change, uncertainty, or the knowing that something meaningful will soon be different. In a culture that often avoids grief and urges us to move on, it can take courage to turn toward loss and allow it to be felt. Grief is not something to reason your way through, and it is not meant to be carried alone.
I offer support when life feels unsteady.
Whether you are at home, in hospital, or in hospice, this can be a time that feels uncertain and heavy. You may be facing a diagnosis, wondering what comes next, or trying to make sense of what is unfolding. Support is available to help you and those close to you feel less alone as you move through this together. This may include quiet guidance, shared understanding, and compassionate support for both you and your family.
Dying is a deeply human process that involves the mind, body, and spirit. Until the moment of physical death, life is still being lived. This space is offered with care for that living—honouring dignity, meaning, and connection in the time that remains.
I support clients to live the life they desire until death.
You are challenged by those all-too-familiar thoughts causing anxiety, depression, anger, and hopelessness. You have tried to shut out the thoughts using distraction, substances, positive affirmations, or any number of other behaviours that seem to only move you further away from your values and goals.
Perhaps you are facing a serious illness, or struggling with a change in a relationship, career, status, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
You are ready to find your path to transform suffering into acceptance and meaning in a complicated and fast-paced world, but you aren't sure how.
I have effectively supported thousands of clients of all ages and diverse backgrounds in their search for emotional well-being during the most challenging of life situations.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, Registered Counselling Therapist in Nova Scotia, and a Registered Clinical Counsellor in British Columbia. I am qualified to serve clients across Canada.
I bring my genuine, curious, and imperfect self into a safe and collaborative relationship. I have lived experience that informs my work without colouring it.
