ABOUT ME

It’s about you, actually. You bring a unique story and complexities, and your relationships with family, friends and your communities. I bring professional tools and insight to help you navigate your life challenges. In addition to a BSc in psychology, a masters-level social work degree helps me work in a way that respects all your connections and how you would prefer to be in the world. That, coupled with ongoing certifications in individual, child and family therapy, has provided me with a set of tools that help me to help you. I also stay on top of the latest in clinical research, and I share best practices with fellow professionals.

 
 
 

additional specialization

 

In addition to my degree and certifications, my work with individuals, children and families in hospice palliative settings has inspired me to provide specialized support for people facing life-limiting illness, the dying, bereaved, and their families. In all my work, I value people as individuals: their stories, loves, values and wisdom.  I also advocate to improve practices and systems to better support what's important in life, at the end of life, and after.

experience

Exploring discomfort and complexity in difficult times can make individuals and families stronger. Through my specialization in private practice and placements in hospice palliative care, I have supported people to manage serious challenges with grace. I am grateful for the privilege of supporting you.
