Specialized Training:
I offer 15 years of experience providing supportive services to individuals (children, adolescents, adults), couples, families and groups. I have expertise in the areas of mental health, anger/emotional management, personal growth, self-esteem, problem thinking, grief/loss, self-harming, coping with illness/care-giving, addictions, communication/life skills, parenting, managing life transitions/change, separation/divorce, couple/family reconnection, and stabilizing after a crisis. Through my private practice, Align Counselling and Mediation, I provide counselling services to youth, adults, couple and families for a wide variety of needs. I have specialized training in solution-focused counselling (University of Toronto), advanced level mediation/conflict resolution (Munn Conflict Resolution Services), and trauma-informed CBT/counselling (Hincks-Dellcrest Centre). I am an active and good-standing member of OCSWSSW, OASW and Alternative Dispute Resolution Institute of Ontario (ADR).

Personal Statement:
I believe that we are the experts of ourselves. We know best where we have been, who we are, and the direction we would like our lives to take; sometimes we just need some help along the way in order to get us there. I strive to empower people, enhance their quality of life, strengthen their relationships, and help them to achieve what is important and meaningful in their lives.
