Member of Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC) and Ontario Association for Family Mediation (OAFM)
​
With over 35 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, Psychotherapist, and Mediator, I bring a unique combination of professional expertise and personal insight to my practice. As the founder of Healing Family Mediation and Therapy Centre, my mission is to provide compassionate, trauma-informed support for individuals, families, and communities navigating complex challenges.
​
My life journey has been deeply enriched by raising five children, ranging in age from 14 to 30. My youngest son, who is 14 years old, is profoundly autistic. Parenting a child with significant special needs has given me invaluable perspective, empathy, and resilience—qualities I strive to bring to every client interaction.
​
Having personally navigated family court and years of co-parenting, I understand the emotional, legal, and practical complexities families face. This lived experience, coupled with my professional training, informs my child-centred approach to family mediation and therapy. I am passionate about advocating for victims and survivors of domestic violence and ensuring that the well-being of children remains the top priority in all matters.
​
In addition to family mediation, I specialize in healthcare mediation, trauma-informed therapy, and life coaching for individuals of all ages. My services are designed to be accessible and inclusive, offering a safe and supportive space for healing, growth, and resolution. All sessions are available both in-person in various cities, and virtually, providing flexibility and convenience for clients wherever they may be.
​
At Healing Family Mediation and Therapy Centre, I am committed to helping clients overcome obstacles, find clarity, and foster harmonious relationships and resolutions. Let’s work together to create a path toward healing and understanding.
