Throughout both my career and personal life, I have supported individuals living with life-altering injuries, people who have received life changing diagnosis, and others experiencing grief and impactful transitions. My work has included walking alongside caregivers, parents, farmers, farm families, and others who are grieving both death and non-death losses. 

​

With loss at the centre of my upbringing and family experience, I was fortunate to grow up in an environment where I was encouraged to ask questions, learn, and remember with support. I quickly learned that this kind of supportive space is not always accessible, which shaped my passion for creating supportive environments for grief to be experienced.​

​

I come from a farming family and now live on a dairy farm with my own family. I understand and appreciate the unique needs of farmers and their families, where work and life are deeply interconnected. I recognize the impact this way of life can have on marriages, family dynamics, and relationships.

​

These personal and professional experiences allow me to understand the complexities of caregiving, loss, and transition, while honouring the individuality each person brings to counselling.

​

My goal is to create a welcoming space where you feel comfortable to share, reflect, and access support in ways that feel meaningful to you. I will walk alongside you, meeting you where you’re at, and I am committed to ensuring you leave our time together feeling supported and refreshed.
