About Me
I am the co-founder and Clinical Director of W Experience Counselling and Wellness Services and have over sixteen years of experience supporting mental health and well-being across the lifespan.

My clinical experience includes work in community and grassroots agencies, addictions services, specialized children’s mental health programs, eating disorder clinics, and hospital-based psychiatry. I value building
authentic, non-judgmental relationships and creating a space where clients feel understood, respected, and supported. If you’re considering therapy, I welcome the opportunity to connect and explore how I can support you.
