My Story

If you’ve experienced grief, loss, or the profound impact of death, you may resonate with my deep connection to longing and the innate desire to belong to something greater than myself. Losing my mother as a child has left a persistent and unyielding mark on my life. This loss has profoundly shaped my way of being, allowing me to bear witness to the many forms of loss that weave through the fabric of life.

I am in partnership and also co-parent a neurodivergent young adult (AuADHD) who is an absolute treasure. Parenting has profoundly influenced my understanding of justice, oppression, and inclusivity. It’s evident that we all have work to do—not just with one another, but also within the systems that shape our lives.

Now in the postmenopausal phase of life, I embrace self-compassion and prioritize caring for myself in ways that restore and replenish my body, mind, and spirit. Through intentional rest, stretching, breathing, and creative outlets (writing, photography, & telling jokes 🙂 that I think are hilarious), I’ve discovered a deeper connection to myself than ever before.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of counselling adults navigating grief, life transitions, assertiveness, boundaries, relationships, and communication challenges. I’ve also supported individuals dealing with anxiety, situational depression, and the unique struggles that neurodivergent traits can bring in a world often designed for neurotypical experiences.
