About Me

I’m a Registered Social Worker / Psychotherapist and a Designated Capacity Assessor with a deep passion for offering compassionate, client-centred support.

With years of experience in the non-profit sector, I’ve had the privilege of working across a wide range of roles, from direct client care to program management. This has allowed me to connect with diverse groups of people, including seniors, individuals with developmental disabilities, mental health challenges, and those facing cognitive issues like dementia, acquired brain injuries, and other neurological conditions.

After earning my Master’s in Social Work, I expanded my expertise to include counselling, psychotherapy, and program development, and I also began providing clinical supervision and mentorship to both students and staff in social work.

My dedication to continuous learning led me to become a Designated Capacity Assessor in 2019, which has added a valuable dimension to my practice. I also enjoy delivering presentations and consultations on topics like gerontology, assessments, and Power of Attorney, helping organizations and groups navigate these important areas.

Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to support individuals and families through some of life’s most challenging moments. I understand that each person’s situation is unique, and I’m committed to truly listening and adapting my approach to best meet their needs. Whether I’m working through a difficult capacity assessment or offering guidance during stressful times, I prioritize building trust and creating a comfortable, respectful environment where people feel heard and understood.
