About Me

This compassionate and empathic social worker draws on over 15 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. They help clients navigate challenges like parenting concerns, communication issues, grief, and significant life transitions. With a focus on understanding patterns and fostering stronger connections, this approach builds resilience and clarity. The availability of evening and weekend appointments offers flexible support for busy lives.

Approach

Together we focus on small, practical shifts that change how you relate to others and yourself, using steady, collaborative steps rather than sweeping fixes. In sessions—whether in Barrie or online in English—you can expect a measured pace, clear agendas, and a mix of conversation, skill-building and reflective work that addresses patterns in relationships, mood, impulse control and past hurts. I often set simple between-session tasks to reinforce insight and skill. This way of working tends to suit people seeking clarity and stronger connection.
