I have always had a passion for working with children, which started when I was old enough to carry my baby cousins around. Even now, I find myself as the adult at weddings who engages the little ones and gets them involved in a conga line.

​

I have long dreamed of making a significant impact on how children learn and adapt to life's challenges. In the past, I managed childcare centers, spending countless hours in infant, toddler, and preschool rooms. I also ran school-age summer camps and handled extensive paperwork. Throughout these years, I witnessed families experiencing separation, the loss of pets and loved ones, domestic violence, and emotional trauma. These experiences ignited a deep desire in me to help families cope in a more meaningful way.

​

With determination, I left the daycare setting to complete my master’s degree, and years later, I am now running my own clinic. I feel incredibly grateful for the community's trust in me. I am dedicated to helping individuals, children, and families, bringing over twenty-five years of experience to my work.

As a Registered Psychotherapist with specialized training in Play Therapy from the Canadian Association of Play Therapy, I develop innovative strategies that empower clients to express themselves and achieve their therapeutic goals. Having proudly lived in Bruce County for over a decade, I have a deep appreciation for its breathtaking sunsets and vibrant community spirit.
