I have been a Social Worker for 30 + years. I am deeply grateful to do the work that I love. My early years were spent working with children and families where abuse, neglect or family violence were occuring. Sexual Abuse work became my special area of interest. (1978 - 1986)

I became immersed in the treatment of abuse, neglect and violence in families as the Clinical Director of York Region Abuse Program in it's formative years. I was a trainer and supervisor to many clinicians as well as offering treatment services to children, adults and offenders of abuse. I was an expert witness in criminal and family courts. (1987 - 1994)  Since that time I have been a Clinical Social Worker in Private Practice. I offer individual, family and couple counselling. The approach I use is optimistic, and emotionally focused. When couple counselling is not successful I am very pleased to offer my clients a healthy way to separate by way of Collaborative Divorce. I have been a Collaborative Divorce professional since 2008.
