compassion


Through my advanced professional training, I am qualified to help support sexual violence trauma and job-related trauma for first responders. I work with individuals and couples to help open the doors of communications through intimacy and sex therapy.

As a lifelong learner, I continue to advance my clinical practice in several specialized counseling fields, including suicide prevention and postvention, on-call crisis response consultant, online sexual harassment and bullying trauma, and pandemic wellness.

As a child, I quickly learned the impact that one individual can make on the trajectory of another person's life.

In grade school, a librarian invested her time in me to help foster a sense of personal connection and learning. This relationship, while brief, has had a profound impact on my life. This care and attention paid by my school librarian inspired me to help others find their creativity and human connection through empathy, learning, and courage. As a Registered Social Worker and a member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, I continue to honour her impact on my life by helping to mentor and teach others. I began leading sessional lectures at the University of Waterloo in 2018, and in 2020, I was honoured to join the Wilfrid Laurier University teaching faculty.
