Therapist
I received my Masters in Social Work from the University of Texas. During my years as a clinician, my focus has been on children, youth and families. I've worked in crisis response, hospital settings and substance use/mental health settings with a focus on trauma and other mental health concerns. My treatment philosophy is that the client and therapist work together as a team. In the case of children, parents are part of that work. Healing from trauma or other mental health challenge is a journey and a trusting relationship is needed before it can begin. Building that trust can take many forms - humour, empathy, play, art, food, music, nature, and definitely time.
