With over a decade of dedicated experience in the field of disabilities and caregiving, I bring a unique and empathetic perspective to my professional practice. Living with ADHD and being a parent to children with ADHD has enriched my understanding and passion for this specialization. My personal journey with a late ADHD diagnosis, combined with my ongoing training, empowers me to provide insightful and compassionate support to my clients.
My qualifications include a bachelor’s degree in Social Work and Disability Studies, as well as a Master’s in Social Work. I am committed to continuous learning, engaging in ongoing training on various therapeutic modalities and subject matter to stay at the forefront of best practices.
I am a proud member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and the Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance (CADDRA), ensuring that my practice adheres to the highest professional standards. My professional experience spans various aspects of addiction and mental health, including specialized training from Problem Gambling and Internet Addiction at Hotel Dieu, as well as substance addiction treatment at Brentwood Recovery Home. Additionally, my training and development at Hospice Leamington have deepened my skills in providing comprehensive and empathetic care when encountering grief.
My expertise extends to working with individuals with both diagnosed and undiagnosed mental illnesses, offering tailored support and strategies to help them navigate their unique challenges. I utilize various therapeutic modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and positive psychology. Together, we will find the treatment approach that aligns with your unique path and goals.
Whether you are dealing with ADHD, other disabilities, or are a caregiver seeking guidance, I am committed to offering the highest level of support and understanding to help you thrive.
