About

Life is full of complex problems and challenges and you do not have to navigate it alone. Through therapy we can set goals and empower positive change for you to live the happy, meaningful life you deserve. I am a Registered Social Worker with a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology and a Master’s of Social Work. I have been working primarily in the mental health and addiction’s sector for the past 10 years. I have completed a certification as a Clinical Traumatologist and completed EMDR Basic Training.

My specialities include mental health disorders (anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, ADHD) trauma, addictions, dissociation, and stress management.

I am skilled in utilizing a variety of therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Solution-Focused Therapy. I am passionate at what I do and I look forward to working with you to achieve and maintain your therapeutic goals.
