I am the co-founder and Clinical Director of the W Experience Counselling and Wellness Services and have been providing mental health and well-being support to children, adolescents, adults and seniors for over sixteen years. I am a registered
social worker who holds an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, Human Exceptionality in Learning and French, a Bachelor of Social Work degree and a Master of Social Work degree with a specialization in health. I have honed my therapeutic skills by working in grassroots and community agencies, addictions, specialized children’s mental
