Throughout life, whether at home, work, school, travelling (you get the picture), we encounter a range of changes, challenges, obstacles, and losses, that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stressed, isolated, or even depressed. Our personal history and environment shape the way we think, feel, and behave; sometimes in helpful ways, and other times less so. In our work together, we’ll focus on developing practical skills and strategies to help you face these challenges, while also recognizing and building on the strengths you already possess (and yes, you do possess strengths!).
I have over 20 years work experience in mental health. I am a Registered Social Worker with an educational background in Psychology (BA) and Social Work (BSW, MSW) and I’m a Certified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I am lifelong learner, believing that any new information or tools I can learn, can only serve to benefit the people I connect with every day.
My approach is trauma informed, collaborative, non-judgmental. I lean heavily into compassion, humility, respect, and at times humour. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out for support; I would welcome an opportunity support you as you strive towards achieving balance and wellness in your life.

I am very fortunate to have witnessed many individuals recover from pain and suffering they once believed was a life sentence; to use tools and skills in a way that moves them from feeling hopeless to hopeful. We all have the capacity for resiliency.

I work with many clients who struggle with stress, burnout and PTSD. People such as health care workers, caregivers, parents, students. It can take time to see results, sometimes change happens quickly, for others, change moves slowly. Evidence based practice/validated approaches are essential. Everyone is unique, so lets develop a path that is unique to your goals and overall wellbeing.
