As a Registered Social Worker in Ontario with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in trauma-informed care and emotional healing, using evidence based practices including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). 

I believe that every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. At the foundation of my practice is a commitment to transparency, authenticity, and creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust. I recognize the inherent worth and resilience within each individual, regardless of the challenges they may be facing.

My approach is both supportive and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. At the same time, therapy is about more than simply being heard—it is about growth and meaningful change. When appropriate, I will gently challenge patterns, beliefs, or behaviours that may be keeping you stuck, always in a way that feels respectful, safe, and aligned with your goals.

I take a solution-focused and trauma-informed approach, helping clients identify strengths, develop practical strategies, and build on their existing resilience. Whether you are working through the effects of trauma, navigating a difficult life transition, managing anxiety, or coping with the unique demands of being a first responder, I will walk alongside you as we work toward greater clarity, healing, and well-being.

I believe that meaningful change happens when people feel genuinely understood, supported, and empowered. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop effective tools, and move forward with confidence while honouring your unique story and lived experience.
