Personal Statement:
I am a Registered Social worker with over 15 years of experience in the field. I currently work in Inpatient Psychiatry at a local hospital as well as a Counselling Therapist for another counselling platform. I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise in many different areas of life (addictions, mental health, grief and loss, spousal conflict and abuse, child abuse, trauma, blended families, parenting, working with young adults). I myself am a first generation immigrant to Canada and have lived my teenage years as a refugee. I married into a blended family and became a parent figure to two boys who lost their own mother to breast cancer at a very young age. I believe that blended families are hard work and everyone would benefit from extra support to make this family structure work. I would love to empower you and help you train your brain to view the world in a different lens. I practice within trauma informed, anti oppressive and intersectional practice.
