MY EXPERIENCE

I have been an inter-professional and multidisciplinary practitioner with a specialty in trauma, PTSD, depression, and anxiety for almost twenty years. As a private practice social worker/psychotherapist /hypnotherapist and counsellor, my practice area is mental health and addictions for individuals and corporations.  I worked for 15 years in a hospital environment with a pediatric and youth population. My client populations are EAP services, critical incident services, cumulative stress, and the military population. I provide corporate services focused on systemic issues such as anti-Black racism, and racial and gender-based diversity.  As a lawyer since 1995, I practice family law, youth justice, criminal law, child protection, and administrative law (human rights) from a social justice lens.   As a social justice advocate and educator, I teach clinical law practice. I also design and teach courses in trauma-informed practice for lawyers and front-line service providers, forensic social work practice, cross-cultural studies, law and social work, social work and diversity in Canada, human development and environments, as well as, social work field practice.
