I can help you cope with various personal challenges and situations that you may find hard to handle alone, such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief, communication, violence, separation, anger, transition, burnout, fatigue, just to name a few.
I do not label you or judge you based on your issues. I help you find solutions and strategies to overcome the obstacles that prevent you from living a fulfilling life. I focus on the present situation and how to improve your social functioning and well-being.I provide tools and counseling skills and support.
I am familiar with the Timmins and Cochrane district and the unique issues and realities that affect individuals and families in this area. I have been providing counseling services here for over 14 years and have a wealth of knowledge and resources about the programs and services that are available in our communities.

I am a registered member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and the Ontario Social Service Worker Association (OSSWA), which means I adhere to high standards of professional ethics and confidentiality.
My mission is to support you throughout your journey. I want to help you overcome your challenges, move forward, and achieve your goals.
Although I was not born in Timmins, I spent most of my youth there. I returned to what I consider my home. After a career of over ten years as an interior designer in Ottawa, I came back to Timmins to continue my studies and start a new chapter in my life. In 2011, I graduated with high distinction as a registered social work technician.
Over the past 14 years, I have held various positions in social work, including residential support worker, transitional support, sexual assault counseling, general counseling, training and support coordinator, and project manager. I have facilitated numerous support groups and empowerment workshops, and conducted countless individual interventions to support people throughout their journeys. I am well-versed in the unique challenges and realities that affect individuals and families in this region, and I have extensive knowledge and resources on the programs and services available in our communities.
My passion for social work is reflected in my commitment to helping others overcome their challenges and improve their well-being. I have always been driven by the desire to make a positive difference in people’s lives, and this passion has earned me recognition from my peers for my ability to identify and effectively meet clients’ needs.
In November 2020, I opened the doors to my private practice, where I offer non-judgmental and confidential counseling services in an environment where clients feel comfortable.
I support the members of my Timmins community by offering counseling sessions focused on individual needs. Passionate about helping others, I am dedicated to providing the necessary tools for everyone to continue their journey towards a better life.
I believe that each individual possesses the necessary resources within themselves to overcome life’s challenges. My role is to offer tools , skills and support my clients in discovering and utilizing these resources, creating a safe and empathetic space to explore their emotions and develop well-being strategies.
I adopt a collaborative and respectful approach in my relationships with clients. I value active listening and empathy, and strive to create a trusting relationship where clients feel understood and supported. I believe in the importance of client autonomy and encourage them to be active participants in their own journey towards well-being.
I hope this enhanced version meets your expectations!
