My Experience

For over 20 years, I have been providing people with mental health support. My early career involved working with dual diagnosis individuals while completing my Social Service Worker diploma at Humber College in Toronto. Building on this experience, I continued my learning and understanding of mental health practices while completing an Honours BSW degree from York University, as well as my Master’s Degree in Social Work at the University of Windsor. 

Over the past two decades, I have practiced in a wide variety of clinical settings including crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, outpatient specialty and inpatient psychiatric clinics, large nonprofits, and private practice. Throughout this time, I have had the opportunity to teach courses  in case management, and provide clinical and administrative supervision to numerous social work students, interns and professionals. 

My clinical experience includes working with people across all stages of life in the following areas:

  • Anxiety Disorders

  • Depression and Bipolar Disorder

  • Chronic Mental Illness

  • Behavioural and Discipline Challenges
