About Me
I am an experienced Social Worker with more than twenty years of dedicated service supporting children, youth, and families through a wide range of complex life challenges. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with families navigating separation and divorce, and I have supported individuals facing concerns related to mental health, developmental disabilities, substance use, alcohol misuse, and family violence.
​
My work has included leading sensitive investigations into child abuse and neglect, giving me a deep appreciation for the importance of safety, compassion, and careful decision-making. I bring extensive experience working alongside marginalized and underserved communities, and I am committed to practicing from an anti-racist, anti-oppressive framework that honours the lived experiences of every person I work with.
​
I approach my practice with a calm, grounded presence and a strong belief in empathy, collaboration, and strength-based support. Having worked with children across all developmental stages—and as both a parent and step-parent myself—I understand the emotional complexities, stressors, and joys that come with raising children and blending families. This personal insight helps me connect with caregivers in a genuine, relatable, and supportive way.
​
Over the past two decades, I have built my career on the foundation of compassion, integrity, and a deep commitment to helping families thrive. I remain passionate about creating safe, respectful spaces where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered to take meaningful steps forward.
​
I am dedicated to ongoing professional growth and staying informed about best practices in the field. I regularly participate in training, workshops, and collaborative learning opportunities to ensure the support I offer reflects current research and emerging approaches. My goal is always to provide services that are thoughtful, ethical, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual and family I work with.
