Take charge of your mental well-being
My varied social work career has strengthened my expertise, which has expanded over 30 + years. I have been employed by Social Development, Oromocto First Nation, NB Extramural Program and Horizon Health Network. I have been working in my private counselling practice since 2017, offering support to individuals and couples .
Continuing education, and keeping skills current is important to me, so that I can help clients work through situations in their lives that hold them back, like difficulties in their childhoods. Some uncomfortable feelings and behaviors are often resolved through Cognitive Behavior Therapy, like low self esteem, poor boundaries, anxiety, and depressWorking through a Trauma - Informed lens, provides me an opportunity to assist those suffering from trauma, where Cognitive Processing Therapy may offer relief. When I meet with older adults, I offer Narrative Therapy and believe that telling their life story, can be therapeutic in the presence of a compassionate, confidential, listener.
In October 2025, I graduated from the University of Waterloo with a Master’s in Health Social Work. My favorite course was Leadership in Social Work, and doing so through being transparent, ethical, providing a reflexive practice and ensuring a balanced power dynamic between the supervisor and the supervisee. Offering Clinical supervision is important to me ,to mentor and share my expertise with social workers and new graduates.
