I am passionate about helping people reach mental wellness. I believe that every client is unique with their own circumstances and needs. With my support, individuals are encouraged to develop healthy relationships, set boundaries and treat past trauma in order to live a fulfilling life. With my extensive knowledge and expertise, clients are able to achieve balanced thinking and psychological wellbeing. 

I started my career as a nurse where I first learned of my calling to help others. I soon realized that I was made for a different sector of healthcare and pursued an Honours Degree in Gerontology. From there I earned a Masters in Social Work from the University of Toronto.

I have worked in the Public Health Sector for 18 years. For the past 13 years, I have offered psychotherapy, crisis counselling, assessments, suicide prevention, advocacy, and education for those who suffer from moderate to severe mental health issues. I also co-facilitated a men’s emotions management group for 10 years, where I provided support to men who wouldn’t have reached out for help. 

As a Social Worker and former nurse, I can appreciate the unfaltering dedication and service that our front line workers have provided, especially in the post-pandemic era. I have worked alongside Nurses, Police Officers, Paramedics, Firefighters and Correctional Officers and will specialize in offering counselling to them. With a passion for and expertise in treating trauma, I hope to improve the mental health of our community’s essential workers.

I am also a proud, indigenous, Mohawk woman and over the last few years I have reconnected with my culture and want to provide support not only to my community at Wahta but indigenous people all over Ontario.
