Background and Experience
Registered Social Service Worker (RSSW)
Addictions and Mental Health Worker (AMHW)
Health Promotion & Harm Reduction Worker
Primary Care Paramedic (AEMCA)
Accredited C.P.R., First-Aid, and Basic Life Support Instructor
Mental Health First Aid Instructor (Mental Health Commission of Canada)
I am a Registered Social Service Worker (RSSW), providing counselling and consultations for those with concerns surrounding mental health and substance-use. My experience is in supporting those experiencing mood-related disorders, anxiety and trauma-related disorders, substance-use disorders, acute crisis, and general decline in well-being. I am currently taking on clients who are seeking counselling support for mental health, substance-use concerns, psychedelic integration coaching, as well as cannabis health and wellness.
As an Addictions & Mental Health Worker, my goal is to increase mental health awareness and resiliency among communities and workplaces. This includes developing and delivering effective, evidence-based training on mental health and substance-use topics. I create customized workshops to enhance mental health resilience, peer support, and the capacity to support those in psychological distress. I have developed engaging evidence-based workshops such as Mental Health Awareness, Mental Health & Crisis First Aid, and Mental Health For First Responders.
I built a strong foundation of clinical experience assisting critically ill and injured persons as a Primary Care Paramedic. During that time I developed emergency response expertise, crisis management skills, an increased capacity assisting those with concurrent disorders, and understanding of how to navigate Canada’s healthcare system. My clinical practice as a paramedic combined with being an active harm reduction and mental health worker has promoted an open-minded, compassionate, trauma-informed approach to caring for clients and peers.
Along with counselling and consulting, I currently provide harm reduction, crisis intervention, social services and overdose response at two Supervised Consumption Sites in the City of Toronto. I teach accredited CPR, first-aid, Basic Life Support, and Mental Health First Aid courses as well. I use my experience to inform organizations by enhancing addiction and mental health awareness and organizational capacity to support the struggles faced by so many.
