I'm a warm and friendly clinician who welcomes the use of humour in therapy as a form of healing. As a competitive bodybuilder and a cancer survivalist, I understand how the physical and mental function as one.
I've been working in various human services fields since 1997. I hold a Master's degree in Social Work (with distinction) from Renison University of Waterloo, and I'm a registered master social worker with the Nova Scotia College of Social Work.
As a competitive bodybuilder, I understand how the physical and mental function as one, which allows me to incorporate workable lifestyle routines and habits into a holistic treatment approach. As a cancer survivalist, I'm also able to provide therapeutic support to others with this diagnosis and the aftermath. I meet your unique needs with an eclectic therapeutic style.
I use strength-based and solution-focused techniques and am trained in EMDR (trauma), CBT (anxiety and depression), CBT-TI (trauma-informed), CBT-ED (eating disorders), and DBT (emotional regulation and distress tolerance).
I have over 12 years of extensive clinical experience working with concurrent disorders and specialize in trauma, Highly Sensitive People (HSP), and addictions. As of Summer 2025, I received my certification for treating individuals with personality disorders.
I've worked closely with Indigenous and French Acadian populations in schools, clinics, university, and private practice settings. I've provided services to children, adolescents, and adults presenting with various concerns as individuals, couples, families, and groups.
