How I got here
I’ve always been drawn to helping people, but finding my path after university wasn’t always clear or easy. I didn’t have a perfectly mapped-out career plan. I just kept looking for opportunities to learn, grow, and figure out what felt meaningful.
That led me to volunteer roles at mental health agencies, where I supported women and children affected by domestic violence, and eventually to a research assistant position at the University of Toronto.
It was through those experiences that something clicked: I found work that felt meaningful to me, and I knew I wanted to keep doing it. I went on to earn my Master of Social Work and have since worked with children, youth, adults, and families across different settings.
Over time, I found myself especially drawn to supporting women, helping them navigate the expectations, relationships, self-doubt, and life changes that can make it so easy to lose touch with themselves.
In 2019, my husband and I spent about two years traveling. We moved through different places, met new people, and built a life that looked very different from the one we had known. During that time, I also started growing my private practice.
As exciting as it was, living with so much change and uncertainty pushed me outside my comfort zone. I had to navigate unfamiliar places, connect with people I didn’t know, and learn to trust myself without always knowing what came next.
And I came to realize something important: you can change your surroundings, but you can’t outrun yourself. The things you carry come with you.
That season gave me space to keep facing my own patterns and old wounds, sit with discomfort rather than always trying to escape it, and become clearer about the values I wanted my life to be built around.
It continues to shape how I work with women who are navigating change, questioning old patterns, and trying to create a life that feels more like their own.
We eventually settled in Florida, where I live with my husband and where we had our two kids. As a mom, I know the joy and the mess of motherhood firsthand, and it shapes how I support the women I work with.
I also know what it’s like to struggle with people-pleasing, second-guess yourself, and feel responsible for everyone else’s feelings. Learning to set boundaries and honor my own needs has been an important part of my own growth, and it’s something I now help other women navigate, too.
