I come to the counselling profession from a varied background but with much life experience in the form of managing a business (you may recognize me from Brambles Bakery, which I owned and ran for many years before we closed in 2021), parenting, and helping families both as a birth & postpartum doula and a gestational surrogate.

Outside of counselling, I am a hands-on, creative person. I knit, spin, make pottery, bake, and just generally gravitate towards the kind of slow, tactile practices that ask you to pay attention. These creative practices remind me that growth happens slowly and quietly, with frustration often showing up as part of the process.

Keeping grounded via these various outlets helps me show up in a steady, connected way as a mother of three boys, a solid partner, a good friend, and an engaged community member. I hope to bring some of the same attuned approach to the counselling space with clients, as well as a creative lens to healing.
