I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I have a Masters in Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University. I have offices in both London and St. Thomas, Ontario, and I also provide virtual sessions. I believe that our lives are best lived with a sense of purpose, and my purpose is to be of service to others. As such I work with people to help and support them in identifying and addressing their challenges and assist them with being present in their lives. I am grateful to work with First Responders addressing their work, incurred trauma and personal issues related to their service. I had a thirty year career in Child Protection, and for the majority of that career I was a Forensic Child Abuse Investigator. My First Responder clients consistently share that it is easier to do this work when the person they are journeying with, has a lived experience working alongside First Responders for decades. Whether you\'re trying to figure yourself out, what you want, what your partner wants, we all need to be heard. If you\'re needing to talk through family, work/career, personal trauma, I can help you get clear on what\'s working, what isn\'t, and help you move forward in a better way. A more present, mindful way.
