About Me: I am a Registered Social Worker who provides therapy to adults 18 years and older. I hold a Master of Social Work degree from Carleton University and am a member in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Services Workers (OCSWSSW). Before joining the Ottawa Centre for Resilience (OCFR), I gained ten years of social work experience in various clinical positions, including child welfare, school boards, hospitals, and private practice.

Who I Work With:
• Adults

My Approach: I support individuals through grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic/terminal illness, caregiving, life transitions, and interpersonal conflict. My approach is collaborative, as I believe a positive and trusting client-therapist relationship is at the root of healing. I have a particular interest in working with complicated grief, complex PTSD, and dissociative disorders. My experience working with people facing life-limiting illnesses has taught me that individuals can adapt and find hope even in the most difficult times.

Tools I Use:
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR, Basic Training)
• Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
• Collaborative Problem Solving™ (CPS, Tier I Certified)
• 3-5-7 Model™
