About
Our Purpose & Principles
To offer compassionate, confidential, and authentic social work services that meet you exactly where you are, supporting meaningful, self-directed growth so you can feel better every day.
​
Inspired by Barkley - a reminder of what it means to be a true listener and a grounding presence - our practice is built on the belief that real healing happens when you are fully heard without judgment.
Â
We provide a grounded, safe space to help you process life’s challenges, build resilience, and work toward the sustainable growth that matters most to you.

Credentials
Therapy
Grounded in evidence-informed care, my practice incorporates CBT, CPT, ACT, and DBT skills. Together, these frameworks offer practical tools to process trauma, regulate emotions, reframe difficult thoughts, and support real, sustainable growth.
Social Work
My practice is grounded in comprehensive clinical education and social work training. I earned a Master of Social Work with a specialization in Health from Dalhousie University, following a Bachelor of Social Work from King’s University College and a degree in Sociology from Western University. This background supports my work with clients navigating stress, illness, caregiving, emotional well-being, and life transitions.
Professional Development
Maintaining a high standard of care requires ongoing professional development. I stay current with evolving research and continue to advance my skills in trauma-informed care, mindfulness-based strategies, cognitive behavioural interventions, and practical emotion-regulation tools. This commitment supports thoughtful, responsive therapy that is tailored to each client’s needs.
