Hi! Thanks for stopping by! It can take a lot of courage to access mental health support so I'm glad you're here! I am a Registered Social Worker experienced in working with children and youth who are impacted by grief, loss, anxiety, depression, obsessions and compulsions, low self-esteem, and identity struggles related to sexuality, culture, or disability. I am passionate about supporting the mental health of neurodiverse students and assisting young adults and families navigate life's transitions.
I take an eclectic approach to treatment that is holistic, anti-oppressive, and strength based. I believe in incorporating creative and compassionate approaches into my clinical work and do so by utilizing play therapy techniques, elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, solutions focused therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness strategies.
I am conversationally fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and am passionate about accessible, person-centered mental health care for all. I welcome your story and look forward to meeting you and/or your child when the time is right!
