I believe that people have natural strengths and skills. My approach is to empower and support people to find their own answers. I care about a person’s life story. I care about their thoughts, feelings and experiences that have shaped them into the unique individual’s that they are.
In my work I draw upon a variety of therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural, Empowerment, Solution Focus and Attachment Models. Over the years in Social Work practice I have worked with individuals, families and groups in populations ranging from children to older adults.
I have special interest in mental health, self esteem, loss and bereavement, life shifts/change, adjustment issues, academic/school issues, stress management and emotional wellness.
I offer a non judgemental, confidential and welcoming environment for all.
I live in Niagara with my family. My husband and I are currently experiencing life as new "Empty Nesters".
