About Me
I am a Registered Social Worker with over 25 years experience. I am located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I am registered to work with clients in Alberta, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. I am available for in person appointments for clients in Edmonton, and available for online appointments for clients elsewhere in Alberta, BC, NWT, Yukon and Nunavut during daytime hours as well as limited evening and weekend hours. Using a client-centered and strength based approach, my goal is to offer a comfortable space, to support clients as they navigate challenges and develop a deepened understanding of themselves. I believe the body is wise and invite clients to become curious of their body and nervous system responses to support an increased awareness of the body’s felt sense of experiences on the nervous system level which allows for an improved understanding of oneself including emotions, needs, responses and management strategies. My areas of special interest include trauma, first responders, perinatal mental health (postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, birth trauma, adjustment to parenthood), relationship issues, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, attachment, childhood and complex trauma, and adjustment to life transitions.
