I have had a passion for helping people from a young age. My grade eight teacher was the one who suggested a counselling type profession was likely in my future. Once in post-secondary I knew I found my calling, Social Work. I am a Registered Social Worker who has worked in a variety of settings and a varying population. Including community and hospital settings. A large portion of my career has been working in a hospital supporting adults living with mental health struggles. 

After personally having a fertility journey and seeking out individual therapy during this challenging time, I can relate to the all-consuming aspects of fertility. It can be draining-emotionally, mentally, physically, financially, and relationally. You do not need to navigate this difficult time in your life alone. I approach each client with the goal to help them discover their inner strength and resilience to work through life’s challenges. 

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches. My first task with clients is to identify what areas they are struggling with and I then determine which modality/approach could best suit them. Some approaches I draw on are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectial Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Theory, and Mindfulness. I take a trauma informed and strengths-based approach to each client. Specifically, in regards to infertility a great deal of work within sessions will be focused on psychoeducation.

I am based out of Midland Ontario. At this time I am offering sessions virtually for residents of Ontario. In person sessions can be arranged with advance notice in the Midland and Barrie area.
