Hello! I am a Registered Clinical Social Worker. I hold a Masters of Social Work from Dalhousie University and have over 20 years of experience working with adults and youth in a variety of settings.

I am an experienced addictions counsellor and mental health therapist. I have worked in adult inpatient and outpatient settings, community based programs as well as educational settings. I am passionate about helping both the individual struggling with substances as well as the family and friends who create the web of support around them.

I believe that all individuals, couples and families are capable of overcoming hardship and creating lasting change. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space that allows others to feel secure enough to express themselves fully.

I have a broad range of clinical experience in the following areas: anxiety, depression, loss & grief, anger and stress management, substance use, trauma, complex family systems, relationship issues, self image and self esteem.

I work from a person-centered, strengths based approach. Your time is valuable, therefore I take care with each session to make sure that you are spending the time talking about what is important to you, and provide hands on strategies to cope with problems as they arise, in pursuit of your goals.

I have experience in a variety of counselling modalities. Treatment plans will be tailored to aid you in accomplishing the goals you set.
