HONOURS BACHELOR OF PSYCHOLOGY (HBA PSYCH), MASTERS OF SOCIAL WORK (MSW), DOCTOR OF CLINICAL SOCIAL WORK (DSW), REGISTERED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER (RCSW)
Welcome!
I am a registered clinical social worker with the Nova Scotia College of Social Workers (NSCSW). I attended the University of Windsor in Ontario where I completed an Honours Bachelor of Psychology and went on to complete a Masters in Clinical Social Work, specializing in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. I then went on to complete the Doctor of Social Work program - Clinical Expertise, with Walden University and graduated in the summer of 2019.
I am trained in many modalities of therapy, including, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, stress and anger management, coping skills, communication skills, however I focus on using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprosessing), when appropriate. This approach has shown to be time and cost effective for clients. If you are interested in some light research on EMDR prior to your first session, see EMDR Therapy in the menu.
Specialties include working with trauma (any single event or reoccurring events), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sexual assault, and anxiety/panic disorder.
I work with clients to tailor the sessions to their needs. I will do my best to ensure our relationship is positive and your experience is pleasant!
