I bring over 30 years of experience in the mental health field across a wide range of settings. My educational background includes a Diploma in Child and Youth Work, a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a focus on mental health, and a Master’s Degree in Social Work. Following my graduate studies, I completed four years of intensive clinical training in the United States to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). While the LCSW is an American designation not used in Canada, it reflects advanced clinical training that allows for independent practice, diagnosis using the DSM-5, and treatment planning. I am no longer an LCSW as that license ended when I relocated to Canada in 2014.  I later earned my Ph.D. in Counselling Psychology in the United States.
