I am a Registered Social Worker, in practice for the past 29 years. My experience includes 25 years of working within child welfare, with numerous clinical and supervisory roles, during which I focused my work in working with adolescents and their families for 6 years.  In 2013 I began working with the Office of the Children’s Lawyer as a clinical panel member, completing custody and access assessments, as well as assisting OCL panel lawyers. I have received training and do my best to practice from an Anti-Oppressive Model. I have obtained a Master in Social Work from the University of Toronto, and a Bachelor of Social Work from Ryerson University. 

I have assisted individuals, children and families throughout their separation process, to help them manage feelings of guilt, sadness and worry for their children.  I have also helped parents manage their children’s behaviour, using a developmental perspective, to achieve harmony within their home.  I have advanced knowledge of ADHD in children, teens and adults, and can help children and parents navigate the world when executive function is difficult.   My goal is to help every individual, child and family come to a place of peace, acceptance and equilibrium.
