I have a broad range of experience working with adults in both private and public sectors.  This includes an understanding and experience working with correctional, defence and emergency services personnel.  

​

My work is guided by a trauma-informed, strengths-based framework, and working with people in an authentic, collaborative manner in building a meaningful and purposeful therapeutic relationship to enable working with the whole person as a unique individual rather than focus on a diagnosis.​
