Welcome. Reaching out takes tremendous courage.
About Me
With over 20 years of experience as a Clinical Social Worker, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals and families affected by trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use, and grief and loss. I am deeply committed to providing compassionate care and walking alongside clients as they discover their inherent strengths and wisdom.
In addition to my professional training, my own lived experience has greatly shaped my understanding of the healing process. This perspective allows me to connect with clients on a deeper level, offering empathy and insight drawn from both personal and professional journeys.
My approach is rooted in a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Lifespan Integration Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT). I believe that each person’s journey is unique, and I strive to tailor my support to meet the individual needs of those I work with.
I am passionate about fostering an environment of warmth and trust and look forward to the opportunity to connect with you as you navigate your path to healing and personal growth.
