Moment to Moment

To me, Moment to Moment is about the healing journey—how we grow, adapt, and find our way through life’s challenges, one moment at a time. As a uterine cancer survivor, and someone who has navigated trauma, mental health challenges, and the barriers of coming out, I understand firsthand that healing is not linear. It happens in moments.

Who I Am

I’m a Social Worker with over 20 years of front-line experience in mental health and substance use/addictions, specializing in harm reduction. I hold a Master’s in Social Work and am currently completing a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA).

I take a creative, relational, and personalized approach to therapy—there’s no one-size-fits-all model. Healing should be tailored to who you are, and I integrate anti-oppressive, anti-racist, trauma-centered, and social justice perspectives into my work.

Therapy can be hard to access, especially if past experiences have been unwelcoming. I recognize this and strive to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and understood.

To meet each person’s unique needs, I draw from a variety of evidence-based and experiential approaches, including:

• Brainspotting & Neuroplasticity

• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

• Solution-Focused Therapy

• Narrative Therapy

• Mindfulness-Based Approaches

• Motivational Interviewing

• Harm Reduction & Crisis Intervention

• Art, Music, and Other Creative Modalities

 

Areas of Focus

I provide therapy and support in areas such as:

• Mental health and substance use – addressing barriers through a harm reduction lens

• Life-altering illnesses – supporting individuals with cancer, hormonal transitions (PMDD, menopause), HIV, Hep C, and other conditions

• Trauma & Healing – helping individuals process and recover from difficult experiences

• Housing instability – navigating challenges related to unaffordable housing, displacement, and systemic barriers

• 2SLGBTQ+ identity & coming out – providing affirming support for queer and trans individuals

• Family transitions – adjusting to divorce, co-parenting, and single parenting

• Career & school challenges – helping clients navigate stress, burnout, and life transitions

 

My Work in Education

For the past eight years, I have also taught courses in counseling skills, mental health, and substance use at several Ontario colleges. Currently, I am full-time faculty in an Addiction and Mental Health Worker program, where I am passionate about training and supporting future front-line workers.

 

Outside of Work

When I’m not working, I love learning new things, like playing the ukulele or exploring creative projects. You can also find me hanging out with my kiddo, swimming whenever I can, or tending to my plants and tiny balcony garden.
