I see strength as an innate characteristic in all people and that the best resource is the people themselves. However, in times of pain and hardship it can be difficult to see that strength. I believe in exploring those strengths together with people in a non-judgmental, safe, and supportive environment that empowers them to make the positive changes to live a happy and fulfilled life.
As a registered social worker (RSW) with a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Calgary, and authorized to perform psychosocial assessment by Alberta College of Social Workers, I have over 14 years’ experience as a clinician on the frontline and leadership teams. I have a wide range of experiences supporting people struggling with addictions, mental health concerns, abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, trauma, grief and loss, relationship concerns, behavioral problems, cluttering, anger management, and parenting issues. I provide counselling to youth, adults, individuals, couples, and families. I am culturally sensitive and passionate about working with diverse populations.
My approach to counselling is highly collaborative, client-centered, and individually tailored to meet client specific needs. I create a space where my clients can feel heard, respected, and understood.
I look forward to supporting and walking with you through your healing and recovery journey!
