I am a Registered Social Worker in Alberta, practicing in the Edmonton area and a Licensed Social Worker in Northwest Territories where I am able to provide telehealth therapy. I have been employed as a social worker for over twenty years. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Alberta in 1996 and a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Calgary in 1999. In 2020, I completed the Master of Social Work program through Wilfrid Laurier University.
My areas of special interest and expertise include depression, anxiety, postpartum mood disorders, grief and loss, relationship issues and adjustment to new or stressful life circumstances. I offer group therapy for women experiencing postpartum depression and/or postpartum anxiety.
My goal is to work collaboratively with clients in order to support individuals and couples in achieving goals they have set for themselves using a client-centered approach.
