I hold a Bachelor of Social Work degree and have been practicing as a medical social worker for over five years, specializing in supporting individuals and families navigating complex health challenges. My professional experience includes extensive work in oncology, advanced illness, grief and loss, and the management of chronic health conditions. I have a deep commitment to advocating for the well-being of older adults, having served as Chair of the Gerontological Social Workers Action Group through the Alberta College of Social Workers, Chair of the Gerontology Interest Group at the University of Calgary, and as a Board Member of the Alberta Association of Gerontology.

Throughout my career, I have developed a nuanced understanding of the interplay between physical health, emotional resilience, and social support. I bring a compassionate and realistic approach to therapy, tailoring my work to meet the unique needs of each client. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for coping with life’s challenges; instead, I create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, identify their strengths, and develop strategies that feel authentic and sustainable. My goal is to empower individuals to navigate life’s transitions with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
