I have a Master Degree of Social Work from the University of Waterloo and over 12 years of experience in the mental health field. I practice anti-oppressive social work and provide therapy from a strengths-based, person-centred perspective. I have an eclectic style with training in Systems Theory, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy and Emotion-Focused Family Therapy. I provide trauma therapy through a trauma-informed lens and utilize Brainspotting techniques. In addition, at a client’s request, I can offer counselling using a Christian world-view in any area of need.
I am a registered member of the BC College of Social Workers and a member of the Canadian Association of Social Work (CASW) as well as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I strictly adhere to the CASW Code of Ethics and believe understanding the social determinants of health within a bio-psycho-social-spiritual model is essential for providing social work and counselling services.
