About Me..
I am a Registered Social Worker (MSW) with 10+ years of experience working in mental health. Additional to having 7.5 years of education, I understand hardship on a deeply personal level, which has given me knowledge and insight a textbook just can't provide.
I believe the only way out of the dark is through. To get through, we can't do it alone. There is power in connection—it is the heart of effective counselling and what helps us grow.
In our sessions, I won't pretend to have all the answers. Instead, I will stand by your side as we figure things out together. My approach is built on empathy, kindness, and a strong belief in your resilience.
My specialties reflect my passion for nurturing a healthier relationship with self and others. Whether you're struggling to cope with trauma, depression, substances abuse, are a parent needing support, a professional feeling overwhelmed, a couple wanting to make things work or are someone grieving a loss... you CAN get through and I am here to help guide you into feeling safe, empowered and in control of your life.
The Story Behind the Dragonfly Symbol...
On December 26, 2014, I experienced a sudden and profound loss: my mother passed away. This event shook me to my core and left me grappling with grief for many years. Losing a parent altered my perspective on life—past, present, and future. Strangely, since my mother's passing, dragonflies seem to cross my path with remarkable frequency. It may sound peculiar, but they truly do follow me!
In one instance, while I sat on a beach chair by the lake, a dragonfly landed on my shoulder, lingering there for nearly five minutes. My best friend, equally astonished, captured the moment in a photo. Another instance was during my last year of university, on the first day of my placement, I sat alone on a bench, reflecting on my journey with a mix of emotions—gratitude, pride, and empowerment. Once again, a dragonfly appeared, joining me for a silent companionship that lasted a few minutes.
While I cannot definitively prove that my mother is sending me messages through these encounters, in those fleeting moments, that's how it feels. It's a blend of beauty, sorrow, and hope. I believe these are her way of connecting with me, expressing her love, and conveying her pride.
So, this is the essence of the dragonfly symbol for me—where magic and healing intertwine. As I move through my counselling career, I aspire to carry forward this sense of connection, comfort, and hope, fostering healing and growth for those who seek it.
