I am a Registered Social Worker, Counsellor, and Birth & Postpartum Doula. Throughout my 12 years of practicing social work, I have primarily worked in the field of child and family services, as well as the healthcare field. I have specialized training in Emotion-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems (generally and in the perinatal population), and frequently incorporate cognitive-behavioural and mindfulness techniques into my work with clients.
I am deeply committed to an empowerment model, emphasizing holistic and person-centered care, while also recognizing that each individual is part of a network, personal and/or community-based, and work to explore these networks with each client. Exploring each person's network helps me and the client to better understand their support systems, coping mechanisms, and relationship dynamics. While coming from a non-judgemental, compassionate and curious mindset, my goal is to support your growth and healing journeys.
