Parenting is marked by a constant balance of change, learning, communication, and connection. I love discovering this in my own experience (with my two daughters) as a parent and with over 15 years of experience empowering parents, children, and youth in camp, youth justice, hospital, and school settings from a strengths-based, client-centered approach.

As a Registered Social Worker, I have enjoyed partnering with families in co-developing productive strategies within their own unique family dynamic and building confidence that produces healthier communication. I believe that every family already holds incredible strengths. My role is simply to help uncover them, build on them, and put them to work in a way that feels natural and sustainable for each family I work with.

I really enjoy working with youth and have found that by building a solid therapeutic relationship, it is possible to observe behaviour, articulate goals, and teach new skills. While adolescence is a time of significant social, emotional, and physical growth, youth benefit greatly from the bedrock of ‘home’ in family relationships. With this knowledge and experience, I love to support these relationships by helping to facilitate trust, healthy rhythms, and courageous communication between parents and their adolescent children.

If you are navigating the challenges of raising your child, feeling stuck in family conflict, or simply looking for support in strengthening your relationship with your child, I would love to walk alongside you. Together, we can build something that lasts.
