Description
Having started my career as a social worker in 1999, I have worked more than 20 years in the field in a variety of contexts, including in the child welfare and criminal justice systems, education, and family law. I have been in part-time private practice since 2008 and full-time since 2019. I serve a wide variety of clients with various needs, including separation/divorce, counselling for children/teens, depression, anxiety, and other stressors. I'm kind, understanding, and focussed on helping you achieve your best self. Call or email me for more information or if you have any questions.
