About

Need a safe space to process your feelings and concerns? With over 35 years of experience in the fields of education and social services, I offer a I offer a master’s degree. I received certification in Crisis & Suicide Intervention, in addition to training in Object Relations Therapy and Self-Psychology, an approach which is widely practiced with trauma victims. I am a S.O.S. (Survivors of Suicide) facilitator for those who are grieving the loss of a family member or loved one by suicide, a particularly distinctive grieving process, which requires specific training and experience. As a counsellor for 9 years on The Quick Victim Response Program (QVRP+)list for Ottawa Victim Services I have successfully dedicated myself to help facilitate the healing of well over hundreds Victim Service clients in the areas of crisis intervention, abuse, and trauma informed counselling.
