Way We Can Work Together
Individual, Youth & Family Support
I work with youth, adults, and families who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or carrying more than they’ve had space to process alone.
Sometimes people come because anxiety, burnout, grief, family stress, or life changes have started taking over. Sometimes it’s harder to explain than that — things just don’t feel okay anymore.
My approach is relational, practical, and collaborative. We slow things down, make sense of what’s happening underneath the surface, and look for ways forward that actually fit your real life.
I work particularly well with neurodivergent individuals, young people, carers, and people who have often felt misunderstood in other spaces.
In-Person, Outdoor, and Virtual Sessions
Sessions are available in person in the Tri-Cities, online, or outdoors when appropriate and agreed together.
For some people, sitting face-to-face in an office feels right. For others, walking, being outside, or meeting virtually can feel safer and more natural.
My work is flexible, relational, and shaped around what genuinely supports you best.
Working Beyond One - to- One Support
Alongside one-to-one work, I also offer consultation, supervision, workshops, and community-based conversations for professionals, schools, parents, and organizations.
Much of this work comes from over 30 years in social work, mental health, youth services, and community systems and also from being a human being who believes people learn best through connection, honesty, curiosity, and sometimes humour.
I’m particularly interested in creating spaces where difficult conversations can happen more openly and safely — whether that’s around burnout, systems pressure, parenting, neurodivergence, youth mental health, relationships, or the realities of frontline work.
Some sessions are structured teaching. Some feel more like thoughtful conversations around a dinner table. Often they become a mix of practical ideas, reflection, storytelling, and shared humanity.
I’ve also stepped into lived-experience mental health storytelling and stand-up comedy spaces, which has deepened my belief that humour, honesty, and real conversation can sit alongside difficult topics. Sometimes laughter helps people feel safe enough to finally talk.
