Credentials & Background

Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the Ontario Board of Social Workers and Social Service Workers
Master of Social Work from George Mason University

Reaching out for help when we feel lost, confused, or unhappy takes courage.

My aim is to help you navigate the thoughts, feelings, and actions that are getting in the way of living fully. With an integrated approach using trauma-informed practice and cognitive behavioural tools, we will work together to better understand how you are coping with past or current life experiences, and develop a plan to help you cope more effectively.

After our work begins, you will be on a path towards healing with a greater understanding of:

  • Emotion regulation tools

  • Deeper self-awareness of your coping style, impact of early life experiences, and methods of self-protection you have developed over time

  • Support for setting healthy boundaries

  • A compassionate understanding of your past

  • Tools to regulate your nervous system
