Hello

I recently completed my Master of Social Work (MSW) at Wilfrid Laurier University. I have an Honours degree in Sociology and Diploma in Social Service Work. Prior to my studies in Social Work, I worked in international adoption, working primarily with adoptive applicants as they navigate the process of adoption. Through the MSW program, I completed my first practicum at LOFT Community Services in a case management role, working with youth with mental health, substance use and housing challenges. In this role I co-facilitated a weekly Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) group for youth and worked primarily from a DBT lens one-on-one with clients.

 

In my practice, I work from a client-centred approach and focus on each persons’ unique stories, innate strengths and capacities. My goal is to create a space that is open and safe, one that is built upon respect and non-judgement. I am here to support and encourage you in your journey towards growth and well-being.

 

I am in the process of learning about various therapeutic modalities through courses, readings, and shadowing opportunities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness practices and Narrative Therapy.
