"Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is the power to choose our response. In our response, lies our growth and freedom." Viktor Frankl

Welcome
Professional Experience
Taking action towards change is never easy and in many ways we have to be ready. This can be a process of exploration over time.. to prepare and gather information and resources, and begin the process of experimenting in small steps forward. I see clients within the systemic conditions within which they navigate, and their unique lived histories and experiences. I support the exploration and self awareness of dynamic healing and growth on their path of valued based growth.
​
I am a Registered Social Worker offering therapy for teens and adults with over 20 years of experience.
I also offer clinical supervision to newer and experienced therapists, and practicum students. I have fulfilled certification as a Yoga Teacher and teach privately and in groups. With the additional training in LiFeForce Yoga (the specific application for mental health settings) I incorporate appropriate skills and practices to help clients manage mood and disregulation. After 15 years working at The University of Waterloo in Counselling and Psychological Services I partnered with Karen and Bill James-Abra and we opened The Space Within. We are celebrating 10 years here at the space with a team of multidisciplinary practitioners. Now with Bill and Karen's retirement, The Space Within has partnered with RGA Psychotherapy and Counselling Services. As I move forward in this new partnership, we will continue to ensure quality services for our community and an environment that allows practitioners to thrive.
