I am a compassionate, client-focused social worker with over ten years of working experience providing services related to mental health, addictions, substance use, suicide, crisis intervention, clinical treatment, rehabilitation, and supportive services. I have advanced knowledge of human behaviour, supportive counselling and intervention techniques. I have experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, life and career transitions, family and relationship issues, and self-esteem. I completed training in Solution-Focused, Emotion-Focused, Narrative, and Cognitive-Behavioural approaches.
I practice a holistic, person-centered approach based on meeting clients where they are and helping them reach their goals. I have my undergraduate degree in social work from Ryerson University and my masters degree in social work from the University of Toronto.
Since joining the social services field, I have worked for the Canadian Mental Health Association-Halton, St. Michael’s Hospital and the Ministry of Health.
