My passion is helping people in distress find their unique voices and build positive relationships.I hold a Bachelor of Applied Science from the University of Guelph and a Masters in Social Work from the University of Toronto.I have been practicing for over 25 years; originally in the public sector including Children's Aid Society, Bridgepoint Health & Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences. I have been in Private Practice for the last 10 years. My practice is informed by a range of therapy models including, psychodynamic, family systems, cognitive behavioural, conflict resolution, narrative and emotion focused therapies.
While the needs of the person always determines my approach, I also incorporate a holistic or systemic approach that considers not only the individual but also their narratives or life stories, including the physical, mental, emotional, relational and spiritual aspects.
I am also licensed to provide specialized therapeutic support to children of families experiencing separation or divorce issues. This is offered on an individual or group basis, and is based on my training in the Sandcastles Program, a mandatory requirement for divorcing couples in several American jurisdictions.
