I have a Master of Social Work with a specialization in Clinical Social Work Practice. I have been a practicing social worker for over twenty-five years and feel blessed to have had the opportunity to provide support and services to children, teenagers, adults, and families. I am very passionate about working with children, teenagers, and young adults.

As a social worker, I practice with a holistic, client-centered, trauma- informed, strength-based, and solution-focused lens. I strongly believe in developing a positive therapeutic relationship with my clients where they feel listened to and safe to share their thoughts and feelings.

I believe in working collaboratively with my clients on their healing journey of overcoming challenges and finding their inner peace, strength, and resilience. Some theories of practice I use are Trauma-Informed Practice (TIP), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Systems Theory, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and mindfulness.

I am a Clinical Counsellor with a Master of Counselling Psychology specializing in clinical practice. As a therapist I look for the connections we have with ourselves, our family and friends, and how this can all impact our mental health.

Life can be challenging and some individuals may struggle more than others and you shouldn’t have to go through all of that on your own. Sometimes just talking about some of these struggles can open up doors that will allow you to work through them and grow. I look at giving you a toolbox and filling it with various tools to help you work through any of the struggles you may be dealing with. I take an empathic, non-judgmental approach with compassion as well as honesty to help you grow and heal.

I use a variety of therapeutic techniques including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Strength Based Therapy (SBT).
