I am a registered social worker and clinician with over a decade of experience working across mental health, crisis response, research, and community based systems. My work has taken place in complex environments where individuals, families, and staff are navigating stress, trauma, limited resources, and high stakes decisions.

I specialize in supporting people and teams in moments where clarity, calm, and ethical judgment matter most.

My practice is grounded in evidence based approaches, lived experience, and a deep respect for the systems people must navigate to survive, heal, and move forward. I work from the understanding that distress is rarely an individual failure. More often, it is a reasonable response to difficult circumstances, fragmented systems, or prolonged pressure.

How I Work

I bring a calm, structured presence to complex situations. This includes moments of crisis, periods of transition, and long term work focused on stability and growth.

My approach integrates:

• evidence based clinical practice informed by current research
• trauma informed and strengths based frameworks
• ethical decision making and clear professional boundaries
• systems navigation and coordination
• practical problem solving under pressure

I am comfortable working with ambiguity, risk, and competing demands while maintaining accountability, documentation standards, and respect for all parties involved.

Areas of Focus

My work commonly involves:

• crisis assessment and de escalation
• mental health and psychosocial assessment
• short and long term therapeutic support
• coaching and consultation for individuals navigating systems
• teaching and mentoring students or early career professionals
• supporting staff and teams exposed to secondary trauma or burnout
• program development, coordination, and evaluation

I have extensive experience collaborating with interdisciplinary teams, responding to urgent situations, and helping people move from crisis toward stability in a way that is realistic and humane.

Ethics and Professional Standards

Ethics are not abstract to me. They are lived, tested, and refined through practice.

I take professional responsibility seriously and work with an awareness of power, risk, and the real consequences decisions can have for individuals and communities. My work emphasizes consent, transparency, cultural humility, and accountability. I believe ethical practice requires both compassion and structure, especially in high pressure environments.

I value supervision, ongoing learning, and evidence informed reflection as essential parts of competent practice.

Research and Evidence Based Practice

Alongside clinical and community work, I have contributed to research focused on trauma, child and family wellbeing, and systems level outcomes. This background informs how I think about practice, policy, and program design.

I am committed to approaches that are supported by evidence while remaining responsive to lived experience and context. Good practice requires both.

Who I Work With

I work with individuals who are navigating transition, stress, or complex life circumstances. I also work with professionals, students, and teams who need support in managing responsibility, ethical strain, or exposure to crisis.

Whether the work is therapeutic, consultative, or educational, my goal is the same: to support clarity, stability, and forward movement without minimizing the reality of the situation.
