MSW, RSW, RP

Registered Psychotherapist

Are you feeling hopeless? Are you tired of trying to get ahead in life? Yet, after many attempts to make things better, you still feel stuck, alone, and wondering who to reach out to for the right support? I am here to listen to your story, with compassion, in a caring and nonjudgmental way, to understand what happened to you. I am committed to fostering a safe environment, where we can collaborate and work together to get you where you want and deserve to be.

As a trauma healing specialist, Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience, I have been supporting youth, adults, couples, and families impacted by mental health challenges and traumatic life experiences. In terms of educational training, I have a Master’s degree in Social Work and a Bachelor’s degree in Theology. I also have extensive trainings in evidence- based Clinical Therapy Modalities, including, but not limited to: CBT, EFT, DBT, IFS, BSFT, and Strengths- based. These, along with wholistic approaches, pave a solid platform to conceptualize and create clear pathways towards your goals and treatment plan, focusing on your bio-psycho-social and spiritual growth.  

I am passionate about providing mental health consultations and being an engaging speaker to agencies and faith- based communities. I have trained agencies of all different sizes in trauma informed care, compassion fatigue (empathic strain), critical incidents, and other core competency trainings.

My professional qualifications as a Clinical Supervisor are aligned with the CRPO and OCSWSSW requirements. In my years of practice, I have accumulated thousands of hours of supervised clinical experience in supporting clinicians to grow in competency, knowledge and clinical skills. If you are searching for a clinical supervisor to improve your efficacy in providing client services, you have found the right person.

My greatest attributes are comprised of my strong faith and deep love for God; a compassionate heart; my love of family and spending quality time with them; nurturing friendships; and enjoying nature walks and being in water.
