Through her warm and inviting nature, clients learn about managing a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress response, relationship reconciliation, separation and divorce, blended families, parenting, and work-life balance.

These strategies are authentically examined by employing a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, gradual exposure therapy, emotion-focused family therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, narrative therapy, and other trauma-informed collaborative therapies.
