As a social worker, I have always believed in the strength of the individual to heal. My role is to support and encourage each person to find that source of strength and balance that they innately possess. It can be difficult to seek help when things seem overwhelming and confusing, and that is why I have always tried to offer a compassionate and safe environment where my clients can feel accepted wherever they might be in their journey of self discovery and growth. I am empathetic and non-judgmental, and focus on ways to empower my clients to begin to recognize and believe in their own abilities.

I believe in the importance of the mind-body connection in healing and have been working towards my certification in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and currently being trained in Somatic Experiencing (SE) through the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute.

I have been able to support individuals who have struggled with depression, anxiety, domestic violence, relationship issues, family of origin struggles, trauma (including sexual trauma and attachment trauma), grief, and general adjustment to life’s difficulties.
