I have personally navigated the murky waters of trauma which led to depression and anxiety. I “walk the walk” with you. Doing my own EMDR Intensive Therapy and IFS therapy as a client, has turned the murky waters I was once lived in into a place where the chronic wounds of time are now healing. I am flourishing.
I have a passion for gardening, hence the name Flourish!
Making jewellery is theraputic for me. I like to knit (terribly), make wreaths and holiday centrepieces. During the colder months of the year, I am often found in my craft room making all sorts of things.
I absolutely LOVE cats! I enjoyed my time volunteering at the Lincoln County Humane Society as a Cat Socializer.
I love pizza, wine gums and Diet Coke.
I grew up in Jordan, ON. At 18, I moved to Toronto and spent one year in pursing Graphic Design at George Brown College. From there, I graduated from Sir Sandford Fleming College with a Fish and Wildlife Technician diploma. This led me to Northern ON. and one my second most loved job as an Ontario Fire Ranger. I spent 6 seasons in this job that allowed me to be a total badass and travel all over Canada putting out fires.
Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, ON. was my final post-secondary stop. I completed my Honours Bachelor of Social Work with a Major Concentration in Indigenous Learning and then my Masters in Social Work.
In 2013, I moved back to Niagara which is my home for now. Flourish Counselling & Creativity is currently celebrating 5 sucessful years serving Niagara and beyond.
Space is just as important as the person working in it and their clients.
I designed Flourish to be a space where you feel secure, at ease and ultimately to do the important work necessary for healing and change to take place.
