Education

I have completed an Honours Bachelor of Psychology from the University of Ottawa and a Clinical Masters of Social Work from the University of Manitoba. As a committed learner, I was nominated for the Clara Kemila Anderson award for outstanding field practice during graduate school.

Experience

I have worked in social services for many years with over a decade of experience providing therapy to adolescents, adults and families in both the non-profit and mental health system. This includes providing counselling for adults in various capacities such as short-term private practice, brief drop-in therapy, sexual assault crisis work and as an Adult Counsellor at the Women's Health Clinic.  In addition to work with adults I have worked with adolescents in a variety of settings including as a Child and Adolescent Mental Health worker within the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, as an Adolescent Counsellor at the Women's Health Clinic,  with sexually exploited youth at the Transition, Education & Resources for Females program as well with youth in schools, corrections and institutional based care.

​

Dedication

I have a specific focus on helping adults heal from all types of trauma. I have continuously sought out specialized techniques and training to be able to offer a high level of service in this area. I am passionate about helping people break free from their past and find hope in their future. 

​

Community

I believe strongly in giving back to the community and am a current volunteer for Fertility Matters Canada. Additionally, I have volunteered in the past with the United Way, Winnipeg Harvest, as well as Klinic  Community Health and am a past member of the College of Social Work Children's Special Interest Group.
