About Me

How it all started...

In high school, I decided to earn extra credits through assisting in a classroom of students who had been diagnosed with a Mild Intellectual Disability.  The feelings and emotions that I experienced from supporting others as they overcame their challenges and achieved their goals ultimately led me to pursue a profession that allows me to help others.  I am proud to be a social worker and consider my professional designation as one of the most important parts of who I am.

 

Educational background and experience...

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Social Work with Honours degree from York University, and a Masters of Social Work degree from the University of Toronto. I have worked with children and families in various settings including schools, day treatment programs, community mental health agencies, and within the child welfare and foster care system.  I have also facilitated groups for parents who are looking to prevent and treat social, emotional, and behavioural problems that their children are experiencing.

​

A little more about me...

I am a mother of one and love animals.  During the warmer seasons, I enjoy camping and gardening.  During the winter, I enjoy snowboarding and drinking hot chocolate.  I am a baker all year round and have a serious sweet tooth!

 

I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live their best life, and I would be honoured to be able to support you in your journey.  If you would like to learn more about the services that I provide and determine if my approach will work for you, book a free 15 minute phone consultation.
