What I offer

To help support the rural community, I can go to you.  I will travel to you within a 40 minute drive of Kemptville, ON at no extra cost. 

For some, leaving the house is overwhelming, anxiety producing or simply not doable. Having the support in home is something that  can help things feel less overwhelming. For others, the elimination of the barrier of transportation and/or travel time is a real need.  

I value providing quality rural support that is accessible. 

Relationships are complex. Life can have you facing many obstacles. Whether it's parenting, connecting, blending or even separating, having a neutral person hearing all voices can help these dynamics. This includes parent/teen dynamics, intimate partners or any other relational dynamics you want to focus on.

Couples face struggles and complications unique to them and I offer a space to work through that, reconnect or support separation in a way that feels less harmful and supported. 

I offer safety planning as well for those who are worried about dynamics in their relationship and this planning may be directed to one on one support. Feel free to consult with me prior.

It can be hard to find time for support. For some, face to face is also anxiety producing. Virtual support is offered and available to you to make it easier to connect.

My office is located in Kemptville, ON near the hospital and local high school. It has a private entrance just for AWS and is a calm, comfortable space for us to talk, share and figure things out. There is always coffee/tea available and if you need anything else, just let me know. This is your time and I want you to be as comfortable as possible.

​

Family dynamics are quite varied. I can work with the entire family on cohesion, problem solving, crisis, blending and other struggles you may be facing.

​

I have much experience on working through complicated relationships such as estrangement and reconnection or family separation and grief.  This includes foster care and adoption unique challenges and experiences.

I have vast experience developing and delivering training and workshops for adult learners on topics such as burn out & self care, organizational culture, collaboration and child welfare.  Reach out if your organization/group would be interested in this learning.  I range from talks to workshops and can personalize the training for your needs.  This includes a follow up check in to ensure the learning and teaching was relevant and helpful.

When our own trauma, background or current life events are impacting our well being, speaking with someone and being heard can really help. It's so hard to heal alone and having someone in your corner helping to wrap around services, support you or even just being a safe space to figure things out can make a world of difference. You aren't alone.  This service can be longer term and is flexible to range from full sessions to check in's, depending on what you need. Feel free to reach out and consult to see if I am a good fit for you.

Please note that I can work with children 15 and under,  however, I would be developing that work under the family approach, customizing my approach to every situation.
