I always take on an open, non- judgemental approach to the work I do because I myself have lived experiences of navigating systems and overcoming a lot of challenges in my life.

I also believe that my life experiences and successes provide me with a unique perspective that allows me to connect with and help clients in a real and authentic way.
I have more than 24 years of diverse Social Services experience, including counselling, case management, facilitation, crisis management, supervision, and direct support experience. Additionally, my professional experiences include disability rights, working with youth, children and families, community development, promoting inclusive communities and creating and implementing a variety of support groups and skill building workshops.
I strive to ensure that inclusive practices and approaches are priority in the work I do.

I love writing and have authored in international and local publications including work in the International Journal for Direct Support Professionals. I am a RSSW and hold a Social Services Worker diploma from Sheridan College in addition to a variety of certificates including Non- Violent Crisis Intervention, Fierce Conversations, Mental Health First Aid and Trauma Informed Care just to name a few.

Each of us occasionally needs help identifying solutions to life’s struggles. Other times, despite knowing solutions, we cannot take action. Regardless of current situations, emotional struggles, or past experiences, therapy helps us on a path of discovery to identify challenges and co-create solutions.
I believe counselling allows us to work together, creating a life with increased happiness, emotional stability and fulfilling relationships.
I believe everyone already possesses the necessary resources to overcome their difficulties. Employing motivational interviewing, cognitive, narrative and mindfulness practices, we work together to reveal forgotten strengths and resiliencies to promote lasting and meaningful change.
My focus includes substance use, anger management, anxiety, depression, ADHD, conflict resolution and relationships. I am particularly interested in addressing relationship and parenting concerns from a male perspective.
