Hilary welcomes individuals, parents and families into a safe, compassionate space where they can explore life’s challenges with care and understanding. Whether you’re navigating stress, boundaries, school-related concerns, or life transitions, she offers a calm, supportive environment where you can feel heard and understood.

 

Her work has been shaped by over 25 years of experience in community development, residential youth work, education, youth engagement, and family support. Along the way, she has come to value resilience, authentic relationship-building, and the importance of meeting people where they are. For two decades working within the public school system, she supported students and families in navigating complex educational settings, advocating for student needs, and responding to various challenges. She has also worked closely with families affected by substance use, and with children and youth with existing diagnoses and IEPs.

 

Hilary brings a practical, compassionate, and solution-focused approach to private practice. She works with individuals and families through an attachment lens, using emotionally focused and strengths-based approaches to build connection, clarity, and meaningful change at a pace that feels right for each person, helping clients draw on their own inner strengths.

 

Outside of her work, Hilary trades polished perfection for real, lived experiences. She loves escaping to the city for family, multicultural energy, and great food. Still, she stays grounded at home through honest, unfiltered conversations with close friends, exploring the beach and hiking the trails with her dog. Learning to embrace the chaos of a full life, she has finally let go of having it all perfectly manicured—starting with her wild, overgrown garden.
