She has 12 years of experience in the social work field, much of it has been spent working with children, teens and their caregivers. She loves helping people from all backgrounds make new paths in their lives, and has worked with Indigenous people on and off reserve in British Columbia and Ontario. She uses a strength based approach that is trauma informed, client centred, using tools from her training in DBT, CBT, EFFT, Indigenous Focused Trauma therapy, and various other trainings.  She loves learning, and is always trying to find new ways and strategies to support her clients with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transition stresses, including those related to gender diversity.

She is especially passionate about supporting teens and young adults through difficult times. She feels privileged to be invited into people’s lives and hold space for them, so they do not have to feel alone in their journey to wellness.
