I provide attachment focused Child, Youth, Family Therapy, Adult and Couples Therapy. I use the frameworks of Family Systems Theory and Attachment Theory to guide my clients on the path to optimal mental health and functioning. I have been providing counselling services and support since 2009. I have particular experience in the areas of adolescent mental health, addressing parent-child conflict and supporting adoptions and adoptive families.

I believe in the changes and improvements that can be achieved when issues are addressed through counselling and therapy. That change is exponential when achieved in childhood and I work with my clients on their journey towards this. Sessions can range from individual children, youth or adult to full family sessions.

Therapy can take the form of many therapeutic modalities including Narrative Therapy, Story Telling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I have earned a Master of Social Work Degree and an Honours Bachelor Degree in Sociology and Psychology.

I hold a Master and Bachelor degree of Social Work from Memorial University in my home province of Newfoundland. However, I have been residing in Kingston, Ontario for many years and I am proud to call this beautiful city my family’s home.

I am a registered social worker and clinical counsellor who has been providing services to adults, families, and children since 2007. I love working with people and I believe we are all experts in our own lives. I offer a collaborative approach to therapy. I provide timely, confidential, and cognitive therapeutic services to individuals, couples, & families experiencing: - Inter-personal conflict (family, couples, parent/child) - Depression - Anxiety & intrusive thoughts - Poor body image & disordered eating - P.T.S.D.

As a counsellor, my approaches include talk (narrative) therapy, cognitive behavioral (CBT) therapy, family systems therapy, and attachment theory. The model I use involves setting goals and working on them together. I work with my clients to understand their struggles by understanding their thoughts, feelings, physical reactions, and behaviors and how they all fit together. A change in one aspect of our thoughts can have significant influence in everyday life.

I am currently accepting new clients and I am often able to book a session within the same week you make contact.
