With over 25 years of experience in mental health, I offer a unique perspective as a former frontline social worker, PhD Psychology candidate, and first responder family member. My lived, work, and scholarly experiences provide firsthand insights into trauma , OSI (occupational and operational stress injuries) and mental and moral injuries. I specialize in working with first responders, public safety professionals, healthcare workers, professional athletes, and their families. Therapy is customized to your experience and needs, using a compassionate, trauma-trained, and evidence-based approach.
I support clients with trauma, PTSD, depression, suicidal ideation & workplace injuries. I also guide clients through the WSIB system as a WSIB provider, 911 peer support, and encourage proactive mental health. My therapeutic methods include EMDR, (advanced), psychodynamic therapy, CPT, PET, Debrief Check In, & pre-assessment for psychedelic treatment.
I believe seeking services is a right and a choice. I aim to provide a safe space for you to be yourself. EEPS is part of your support system through continuity of care & empowering you one step at a time.
