About Me
I am a Clinical Social Worker and Therapist who has been working with children, youth and families for 17 years in both Canada and the United Kingdom. I operate from a client-centered, strengths based and trauma informed perspective. Utilizing an eclectic approach I incorporate various modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Brief Therapies and Mindfulness practice.
I have over 9 years of education, obtaining my Social Service Worker Diploma, Bachelor of Social Work, and Master of Social Work from Dalhousie University. I frequently participate in trainings and certifications to continue to develop my skills and ensure best practice. I am a Registered Social Worker through the Ontario College of Social Workers.
My background experience involves working predominately with children, youth and families around various issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidality, self-harm, parenting support, life transitions and bullying. In addition to mood disorders, I also have experience supporting families of loved ones experiencing psychotic disorders.
I am also currently a monthly columnist for Metroland Simcoe County News and Newmarket Today, covering topics on child and youth mental health.
