Our journeys as individuals, leaders of a family, parts of a couple, as growing adolescence are full of new seasons, big changes, unintended harm, deep hurt, barriers to communication, and hopes for meaningful connections. 

As a parent of two daughters and a Registered Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting parents, children, and youth in camp, youth justice, mental health and addictions hospital, and school settings, I bring a strengths-based, client-centered approach to my work.

I enjoy partnering with parents to develop practical strategies that fit their family’s unique needs, strengthen communication, and build confidence. I believe every family has strengths, and my role is to help uncover and build on them in ways that feel natural and sustainable. I support parents and teens in building trust, creating healthy routines, and communicating openly.

Adolescence brings many social, emotional, and physical changes, and strong family relationships provide an important foundation. I especially enjoy working with youth who resist change or have difficulty expressing emotions in ways that foster connection. Within a strong therapeutic relationship, we can work to unpack some of our motivations and values, set meaningful goals, and develop new skills. 

Whether you’re navigating parenting challenges, feeling stuck in family conflict, seeing physical symptoms of mental stress, or hoping to strengthen relationships, I’m here to walk alongside you.
