Welcome! I’m delighted that you’ve taken the time to explore my profile. Reaching out for support is a courageous and empowering step, and I’m here to help you navigate through it.

I’m a Registered Social Worker with over a decade of experience in community mental health. I’ve had the opportunity to support individuals through their unique challenges, with a particular emphasis on working with older adults and the biopsychosocial aspects of aging. Historically, I have earned a Social Service Worker Diploma, an Honours Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work with a minor in Gerontology, and I am dedicated to continuous learning and passionate about helping others achieve peace, balance, and meaningful transformations in their lives. My approach is grounded in creating a safe, person-centred space that is anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and strength-based.

Particular Areas of Focus:

Anxiety, Trauma, Boundaries and other Interpersonal Challenges , Suicidal Ideation, Mood and Personality Disorders

In addition to my dedication to supporting others, I enjoy spending time outdoors, with loved ones, and travelling whenever possible. I’m also a foodie with a passion for good books and documentaries. I strive for balance in my life and hope to work with you to find what you are looking for!
