Clinician & Organizational Training, Education, Supervision    

I'm a social worker and psychotherapist with over two decades of experience specializing in supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and their families through the challenges of interpersonal violence, including sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, neglect, and domestic violence. I am the proud recipient of the Jim Shea Memorial Award 2024 for outstanding contributions to the growth and well-being of clients, staff and service providers.

Over the past 16 years, I have also made substantial contributions to professional education, creating content and leading both brief and intensive training sessions to support organizations and regions develop clinical specialization. My trainings cater to professionals and adult learners across Canada and internationally, with an aim of fostering passion and deepening expertise in my areas of specialization.  I enjoy supporting professionals who are developing their clinical skills via consultation and clinical supervision and I am very fond of supporting milieu settings such as foster homes and live-in treatment settings develop trauma informed and relational approaches to intervention.

​

I am also certified and specialize in the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics and the Neurosequential Model of Reflection and Supervision. I have further training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Schema Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Emotion Focused Family Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Sensory Processing, Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy, as well as many other therapeutic modalities which enhance my eclectic approach to therapy and clinical supervision

​

I offer clinical supervision to the team here at Empowered To Thrive.
