About Me

---

I am a registered social worker who supports adults and youths on a variety of issues related to mental health. I grew up in the Northwest Territories and have recently made the Ottawa Valley home. I completed my Masters of Social Work at the University of Calgary and have specialized knowledge in addictions, trauma, and criminal justice, and experience working with veterans, military personnel and first responders. I have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavior Conjoint Therapy for PTSD (CBCT). I am also experienced in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused Therapy, among others.   

I am a mother of two beautiful boys and the spouse of a military veteran. In my personal time, I love connecting with family and the outdoors while challenging myself to engage in new activities and hobbies. 

I look forward to the opportunity to work with and challenge you as well.
