The face behind the logo
I am a registered social worker and the owner of Embrace your Humanity Windsor Counselling Services. I began my professional therapeutic journey in 2020 during the height of COVID as a new grad.
My therapeutic approach is eclectic. I draw on beliefs from Humanistic and Existentialist psychotherapy and incorporate therapeutic interventions from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). In my practice, I emphasize nervous system regulation, skill-building, and self-awareness.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, and I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard and supported. Whether you're seeking to understand yourself better, develop coping strategies, or navigate life's challenges, I'm here to walk alongside you.
What do I do?
Today, I practice as a Clinical Social Worker at the University of Windsor in a group therapy coordinator role. I create and implement therapeutic group programs and workshops on topics related to emotional regulation, mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, neurodiversity, and social anxiety, among others. I visit classrooms, attend outreach events, and speak on panels to discuss the barriers University students face and the options of support they have available to them.
In private practice, I offer support to couples looking to find connection again and to individuals looking to heal through codenpendency and attachment wounds. I have a particular passion for walking alongside women embracing who they are, working through self-loss, and living their most authentic life.
I design workshops and programs that help people untangle codependent patterns, build healthier boundaries, and reclaim power in relationships. My work centers on emotional clarity, self-trust, and balancing our perceptions, beliefs, and interpretations. Whether you're exploring your attachment style, breaking cycles of overgiving, or learning to say no, you're in the right place.

So, who am I beyond the qualifications and therapeutic jargon?
“I’m just a girl” that loves coming home to her family and finding out about each of their days, watching them play outside with friends we invite over from school, and getting in a card or board game after we eat dinner together. I try to always find and maintain ways of being creative - from painting or clay spinning to home renovations and creating a blog! I am in an active pursuit to ensure life feels slow and wholesome even while maintaining a full time-job, part-time private practice, motherhood, partnership, learning, healing, lesiure, health, and adventure!
