Credentials Verified by PM
I’m a therapist providing individual care for people (18+) out of Ottawa, Ontario, the traditional, unceded territories of the Anishinaabe Algonquin nation.
I came to this role after extensive experience working in educational settings, both at the secondary and post-secondary level. For me, the most transformative experiences in this work took place when I was just chatting with someone as they explored who they were, how they got there, and where they wanted to go.
From here I returned to school and completed a master’s degree in Social Work at Carleton University. I also hold an MA in History from Trent University. In both degrees my research and writing focussed on the connections between race, class, gender, colonialism, and systemic oppressions in Canada’s labour markets, immigration systems and educational institutions.
This knowledge frames both my professional and personal life and is a lens I apply to my own privilege as a white, cis-gendered social worker who is a settler on this land. As a profession, Social Work has a lot to contend with in upholding systems of harm, both historically and contemporaneously, and that responsibility falls on each of us who hold this designation.
