We all need support and community as we find our way. I feel honoured to walk alongside people on their journeys. I bring honesty, genuineness, and collaboration into my work, using innovative, evidence-based therapies that support long-term healing. I love working with families to help them better understand each other, support one another, and work through difficult situations.
