I'm a clinical social worker and Accredited Family Mediator with over 8 years experience working in clinical psychiatry in the public sector. 

 

I hold a Bachelor degree in Psychology from Concordia University, a Bachelor of Social Work from McGill University, as well as a Master of Social Work from McGill University. 

 

I use a client centered, strength-based approach to foster a supportive, and non-judgemental environment.  I approach each client with empathy and curiosity, while exploring strengths, challenges, unique abilities and potential for growth. My approach is integrative, and is based in attachment and trauma-informed care all through a systemic and humanistic lens.
