I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). I am a seasoned professional, who intertwines Social Work, Psychotherapy, and Counseling with a rich background in Community Development and Child and Youth Work. Rooted in evidence-based practices, my approach centers on client empowerment through strength-based, narrative, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) therapeutic modalities. I advocate for positive change for individuals navigating mental health challenges. My diverse skills and unwavering commitment to fostering holistic well-being create a nurturing space for individuals to explore and thrive. As a Social Worker, Psychotherapist, and Community Development Worker, I am dedicated to fostering resilience and facilitating meaningful transformations in the lives of those I serve.

I have 5 years of direct experience conducting client assessments, providing counselling, and supporting clients and their families. I also have assisted individuals with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities for over 5 years. My experience includes working with both high and low-functioning individuals and those who display aggressive and non-aggressive behaviour. Additionally, I have over 4 years of direct experience in planning, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating community development programs and outreach activities. Finally, I have worked as a communication and public relations officer for 5 years and have gained a wealth of experience in print, electronic, and online media over 8 years.
