For over 20 years, I’ve worked as a Child Life Specialist, supporting children, youth, and families as they navigated the emotional landscape of the healthcare system.
​
My work has always focused on providing psychosocial support, especially during times of medical crisis, uncertainty, and transition. I developed a deep passion for grief and end-of-life care while working on pediatric palliative care teams — a space where I learned the profound value of presence, honesty, and compassion in the face of loss.
​
Alongside my professional work, I’ve spent meaningful time at home raising my three lovely children, and I’ve also experienced grief personally. I know how isolating loss can feel, especially in a society that is often uncomfortable with death and grief — a society that is, in many ways, death-phobic and grief-illiterate.
​
I recently graduated from the University of New Brunswick with a Master's of Education in Counselling Psychology. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association and a Licensed Counselling Therapist-Candidate (LCT-C) with the College of Licensed Counselling Therapists of New Brunswick.
​
My therapeutic approach is client-led, humanistic, and grounded in deep respect. I aim to bear witness to each person's unique experience, creating a space that is safe, stigma-free, and rooted in connection.
​
Whether you're grieving a death, a diagnosis, or the many forms of loss that life can bring, I hope to offer a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported — just as you are.
