My commitment is to walk alongside you as you navigate your path through life. My work experience in the non-profit sector has found me working with those struggling with mental health challenges (general anxiety/panic, depression, OCD, agoraphobia, trauma), addiction, chronic illness/pain, relationship issues and domestic abuse. Additionally, I regularly teach as a sessional instructor at McMaster University in the School of Social Work, the Health Aging and Society department and I identify as a woman with an invisible disability.
My work is grounded in critical and feminist theories. All too often our emotional and social challenges are treated as problems that lie completely within us, when really we are simply reacting to the world in which we live. Part of your work with me will involve looking at how your troubles developed to give you insight into how to resolve those issues.
In practice, I strive to empower my clients so that they can work towards making positive changes in their lives and address overwhelming emotions. Our work will always be collaborative, client-centered and will view you as the expert on your own life! I look forward to working alongside you on your journey.
