###Registered Social Worker (RSW/MSW), Provisional Registry #####I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW, MSW) (Provisional Registry) with experience supporting children (3+), youth (13+), and adults (18+). I provide services to individuals from age 3 through to older adulthood, ensuring a thoughtful and tailored approach at every stage of life. My background includes working with children and youth facilitating age-appropriate, play-based, and social activities to support diverse mental health, developmental, and behavioral needs. As an Intern Therapist, I served individuals who experienced sexual violence; providing psychoeducation related to trauma and its impacts and facilitating sessions to support self-awareness and regulation. My social work background also includes providing case management to older adults experiencing elder abuse. My private practice currently includes supporting individuals with anxiety, chronic pain and illness, caregiver burnout, religion and spirituality, sexual violence, grief and loss, childhood trauma, complex trauma, interpersonal dynamics, boundaries, self-esteem, identity, and other mental health concerns or challenges. #####I am here to navigate alongside you with empathy and empowerment. Navigating life’s challenges can be overwhelming. I approach my work with deep empathy, drawing from my own experiences with life’s struggles and the complexities of accessing resources. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space where individuals feel understood and empowered. #####I bring extensive education, training and experience to my sessions. I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Calgary, with a clinical specialization in community-informed practice for health and well-being. I have also completed a Bachelor of Community Rehabilitation with a Speech Language Therapist Assistant Major. My work experience includes over a decade of supporting children and families with complex needs. In private practice I work with children, youth, and adults facing a variety of circumstances. My experience has taught me that having a professional ally to help navigate life’s challenges contributes to positive long-term outcomes. #####I use trauma-informed care and anti-oppressive practices as the foundation of my relationally based practice. Trauma-informed care consists of four key components: safety, trustworthiness, choice, and collaboration. Navigating the rupture and repair process in a relationally safe way is essential to a strong therapeutic alliance and positive outcomes. Anti-oppressive practice guides my work to challenge traditional power dynamics in therapy, reduce systemic barriers to participating, and promote equity throughout all interactions. This includes honoring identity and intersectionality as well as fostering mutual accountability. My approach is rooted in a systems perspective, considering each person within their environment and recognizing the impact of social justice on well-being. #####My therapeutic approach is eclectic and incorporate multiple therapies that is a best fit for your needs. I have experience and training in multiple therapeutic approaches and interventions. Because there is no one size fits all to therapy, we will discuss and incorporate various approaches that could be the best fit for your needs. I utilize therapeutic concepts like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Neurodiversity Affirming Care, LGBTQ2S+ Affirming Practice, and Two-eyed Seeing Approach. My therapeutic style is also informed by attachment, polyvagal, somatic, psychodynamic, parts work, and narrative therapies. Combining these approaches allows me to support diverse individuals with complex needs in ways that are engaging and meaningful to them. I foster experiential participation in therapy sessions offering a variety of tools and encouraging clients to share personal items that are helpful for them. With children, youth, and adults who are interested, I also utilize a play-based approach. This can foster skill development related to emotional awareness, self-regulation, and behaviour changes. This can also be done within the context of caregiver-child dynamics to facilitate connection and mutual growth. My education and work experience give me extensive knowledge and skills related to play-based approaches. As my career evolves, I will continue engaging in professional development related to therapeutic play and working with children, youth, and families. For individuals seeking support related to faith and spirituality, I also work from an existential humanistic and narrative strategy lens, exploring meaning, purpose, and spiritual well-being in a respectful and inclusive manner. While I am a Christian therapist, my life experiences and education provide a strong foundation for me to provide support to diverse individuals. Whether you are questioning faith, want to incorporate faith into therapy, or are curious about how faith impacts mental health, I can provide competent and sensitive support to you. I strive to consistently expand my knowledge and integrate new learning and insights into my practice, so I can better serve my clients. Recent Trainings I have acquired and am currently engaged in are: - Introduction: Play Therapy Fundamentals - Motivational Interviewing Foundations - Complete IFS Therapy Immersion: Integrating the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Model Across Clinical Applications - Brain Story Certification - Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions: SPACE Treatment Training - DBT Course for Clinicians: 15 Core Techniques to Improve Emotional Regulation and Manage Distress. - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Training: Master the Core Skills and Competencies of CBT. - Acceptance & Commitment Therapy: ACT for PTSD, Anxiety, Depression & Personality Disorders - Solution-Focused Therapy Skills for Short-Term Counselling Certificate - Complex PTSD Clinical Workshop: A Comprehensive Approach to Accurately Assess and Effectively Treat Clients with Chronic, Repeated and/or Developmental Trauma. - Responding to Disclosures of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Workshop - Two-Eyed Seeing in Clinical Practice - ASIST 11- Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training Therapy and Beyond: I deeply value spending time with my family, lifelong learning, practicing my faith, and being an active member of my community. My interests include music, art, singing, and writing, as well as engaging in a variety of physical activities such as aerobics, dancing, baseball, and basketball. These passions enrich my life and inform my holistic approach to therapy. I am committed to providing client-centered services; always striving to be a thoughtful, compassionate, and caring therapist. I look forward to supporting you to meet your mental health and wellness goals. ####Educational Background - Master of Social Work – University of Calgary (2025) - Bachelor of Community Rehabilitation – University of Calgary (2012) - Speech Language Assistant Diploma – MacEwan University (2009) ####Issues & Concerns/Areas of Support - Abuse - Anxiety - Attachment Issues - Autism/ASD - Caregiver Burnout or Stress - Child Development and Behaviour - Chronic Illness - Chronic Pain - Communication - Complex Post-Traumatic Stress (C-PTSD) - Connection Issues - Domestic Violence - Drug and Alcohol Addiction - Discrimination - Elder abuse - Emotional Abuse - Emotional Intelligence - Emotional Regulation - Executive Functioning/Dysfunction - Grief and Loss - Health/Illness/Medical Issues - Identity - LGBTQ2S+ therapy - LGBTQ2S+ barriers to care and discrimination - Life Purpose - Life Challenges - Life Transitions - Loss - Multicultural Concerns - Neglect - Neurodiversity - Neurodivergence Barriers To Care and Discrimination - ODD – Oppositional and Defiant Behaviour - Parenting - Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD) - Prejudice - Racism - Racial Trauma and Discrimination (BIPOC Community) - Religious Issues - Sexual Violence/Assault/Abuse - Sexual Orientation - Self-Care - Self-Compassion - Self-Esteem - Shame - Spirituality - Stress - Substance Use - Trauma - Trust - Values Clarification - Women’s Issues - Workplace challenges - Young Adult Issues/Challenges #####Therapeutic Approaches Used - Trauma-Informed Care - Anti-Oppressive Practice - LGBTQ2S+ Affirming Care - Neurodiversity Affirming Care - Solution-Focused Therapy - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Skills - Play-Based Approach - Two-eyed Seeing Approach - Compassion-Focused Strategies - Narrative Strategies - Mindfulness Strategies - Polyvagal-Informed Strategies - Person-Centered Therapy - Attachment-Informed Approach - Somatic-Informed Strategies - Existential Humanistic Approach - Parts Work informed Approach ####Professional Associations - Alberta College of Social Workers (ACSW) – RSW #19640 AB - Social Workers Association of Alberta (SWAA), 2024 - Institute of Child Psychology: Professional Membership, 2025
