About Me
I believe that everyone is doing their best at any given moment and that everyone has the ability to heal. Many people I work with are tired of old patterns of behaviours, thoughts and beliefs interfering in their lives. They hold a curiosity about wanting to learn more about their emotions, relationships with others and their inner world. With compassion, I support individuals to engage in exploring how such patterns, thoughts and beliefs are held within the body, impacting their relationship with themselves and others.
I have been a member, and am in good standing, with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers since 2008, Ontario Association of Social Workers since 2020
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking and trying new recipes, camping, reading, gardening and being active. I love exploring new places!

Years of Practice:
Qualifications
Masters of Social Worker - 2014, Honours Bachelor of Social Work - 2008. Prior to becoming a Therapist, I had the experience of working with adults experiencing pervasive mental health issues within the hospital setting and supporting adolescents and children within community based mental health system. For several years, I worked within the child welfare system having the honour of supporting children, youth, and caregivers in a variety of roles. Throughout my practice within the child welfare sector, I approached my work through an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, anti-colonial lens, which I continue to integrate into my clinical practice. I am committed to the journey of unlearning/learning required to be an ally to BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA communities.
