Using advanced evidenced-based therapeutic practices, I provide compassionate, empathetic support and practical strategies to children, teens, adults and families to address challenges including, but not limited to, addictions, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, ASD, mood disorders, trauma, school challenges, stress, life transitions and interpersonal conflict. I am the co-founder and Clinical Director of the W Experience Counselling and Wellness Services and have been providing mental health and well-being support to children, adolescents, adults and seniors for over fourteen years. I am a registered social worker who holds
an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, Human Exceptionality in Learning and French, a Bachelor of Social Work degree and a Master of Social Work degree with a specialization in health. I have honed my therapeutic skills by working in grassroots and community agencies, addictions, specialized children’s mental health treatment, within an eating
disorder clinic and in inpatient and outpatient psychiatry at a hospital. I pride myself on building authentic, non-judgemental relationships with those that I serve. I look forward to connecting with you to determine how I can support you. Please feel free to connect with me today for a free fifteen-minute consultation.
