About Me
As a social worker with over 15 years of experience, I am passionate about helping people overcome their obstacles and live fulfilling lives. Outside of my professional practice, I am a mom of 4 and a wife to my partner of over 16 years.
In my counseling sessions, I prioritize authenticity and vulnerability, creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can share their stories and experiences without fear of criticism or rejection. I believe that the first step to healing is by allowing people to share their stories, and I work diligently to create an environment that facilitates this.
My Approach and Credentials
I have a Bachelor of Social Work and Women’s Studies (2009) and a Masters of Social Work (2015). I am have training in EMDR, Perinatal Mental health, Somatic Embodiment & Regulation Strategies, trauma and resilience, and adoption and permanency. I also have experience and knowledge in the areas of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
My approach is grounded in a deep commitment to understanding and empathizing with each individual I work with, empowering them to live a full and meaningful life.
The name "Still Waters Counseling Services" is deeply rooted in the idea of finding peace and tranquility amidst the challenges and turmoil of life. Growing up in Northern Ontario and now living in Sarnia water has always been an important part of where I live and I have always found solace and serenity in being near water.
