I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work, specializing in Clinical Social Work. For over 20 years, I have dedicated my career to the social service field, focusing on supporting children with disabilities and their families. In my private practice, I specialize in working with families and individuals raising a child with a disability, gently guiding parents through the grief and loss process and helping them adjust to a diagnosis.

I am committed to providing a safe and inclusive space for clients from the LGBTQIA2+ community, where they can explore relationships, sexuality, and gender. I believe in empowering my clients and tailoring therapy sessions to meet their unique needs, drawing on various therapeutic approaches to support their goals and outcomes.
