Experience Matters in Difficult Situations

I have spent more than 30 years working with individuals, children, parents, and families in emotionally complex situations across Canada and the United States.

My background includes child protection, counselling, victim advocacy, investigation, crisis intervention, and high-conflict family dynamics. Throughout my career, I have worked with people facing anxiety, relationship stress, separation, parenting challenges, trauma, grief, and major life transitions.

My approach is direct, practical, calm, and grounded in real-world experience. I believe people need honest guidance, clear communication, and support that helps them move forward — not confusion, judgment, or unnecessary jargon.
