ABOUT
Mission & Vision
I'm a registered social worker with over 10 years of experience in healthcare and social settings. With several years of working in child welfare & psychiatry, mental health and addictions, my therapy mission is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for person-centred care and honouring your lived experience. My practice vision is to offer accessible services from a critical perspective to all individuals seeking therapy, acknowledging our personal responsibility and accountability to create a better future, as well as the systemic issues and challenges of just being a human in our fast-paced world.
​
When I'm not working, you'll find me hanging out with my loved ones (including my dogs), on my couch napping, crocheting, or reading; hiking, volunteering and working in my backyard garden. I love music and film, so sometimes I venture out to live shows and local screenings.
AREAS OF SPECIALTY
I have experience with a range of areas from life transitions, child-rearing, substance use (chaotic & non-chaotic use), self-esteem, mental health disorders & symptoms such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, and those including psychotic symptoms, and trauma.
Sex & Gender
Are you struggling with gender & sex issues? Balancing the internal and external masculine/feminine. With my background in menstrual health issues, including premenstrual dysphoric disorder, I can help you make sense of things and get back to feeling good about your life & body.
Foster Parents & Children
Maybe you're a new parent to fostering or you've been in it for a while. Child welfare is a changing landscape and sometimes there isn't enough space to support parents through the ups & down of fostering. I'm here to support you in your home & in the system to give your kiddos and their family the best they deserve.
Substance Use
Have you been thinking about your relationships with substances and how you use them? Whether it's cannabis, alcohol or other drugs; whether you're in recovery or you want to reduce the harm on your life & people around you, I can talk you through big feelings and strategies to see the changes you want.
