Biography

Therapy for life transitions = helping you find clarity, confidence, and calm during major life changes. I support adults navigating major life transitions, including health changes, new diagnoses, work or retirement transitions, changing family roles and adjustments, relationship changes, family stress, evolving caregiving roles, multigenerational dynamics, and career transitions and professional identity shifts. My approach is person centred, compassionate, and grounded, blending emotional support with practical tools to help you feel more grounded, clear, and confident as you move through life’s major changes. Whether you’re feeling stuck, emotionally overwhelmed, or uncertain of your next steps, compassionate, person-centred support helps you feel grounded and confident during these major life changes, enabling you to sort through life’s challenges at your own pace. FAQ: What is therapy for life transitions? Support for navigating major life changes such as health concerns, retirement, relationship shifts, and family stress. How can counselling help during a major life change? It provides emotional support, clarity, and coping tools when life feels overwhelming or uncertain. Do I need to know where to start? No. Many people begin therapy unsure of what they need. We figure it out together. Do you work with health related stress or new diagnoses? Yes. I support adults navigating health changes and the emotional impact of new or ongoing medical concerns. Do you offer virtual or in-person sessions? Yes. I offer both virtual and in person sessions for clients in the Stratford area, and virtually across Ontario, making support accessible wherever you are.
