About Me
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and my services. I have experience across a range of mental health care settings, but I've consistently found that my passion is to work one-on-one with clients, learning and growing together. I hope this brief introduction gives you a better understanding of who I am and what to expect from me.
My Background
I am married with two young children, with a deep appreciation for the realities of modern family life. I understand the joys and challenges that come with balancing life’s demands. In my personal time, I cherish moments of stillness, a warm cup of tea, and the chance to recharge in nature or through music. I’m passionate about meaningful conversations and creating a therapeutic space where people feel genuinely heard and supported.
Before motherhood, I mostly worked in community and health services. I started my career as a Recreation Therapist, working in some of the best in-patient mental health programs in the province, supporting children and adolescents. After moving to Simcoe County in 2015, I transitioned to working as a program facilitator at an EarlyON Child and Family Centre, supporting families during the earliest stages of parenthood. This experience, coupled with my own journey into parenthood, fueled my decision to pursue further education to better help people who are struggling.
My Approach
Clients often describe me as a natural listener with a calming presence and a down-to-earth approach. My working style is a balance of meticulous preparation and gentle curiosity. I am naturally a more detail-oriented person who can provide a structured and organized process for clients, while remaining open and flexible to each persons individual needs. I enjoy the process of making authentic connections, helping clients navigate life’s complexities while staying grounded in what truly matters.
I look forward to helping people handle life's challenges through the power of meaningful conversation, therapeutic tools, and strategies that are aimed at creating lasting change. I work as hard as possible to ensure I get the highest quality training and professional development to better serve all my clients. If you’re looking for someone who can help you feel at ease and understood, I’m here to support you on your journey.
