Are you a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces who has been struggling to get a handle of your chronic pain? You don’t have to do this alone. We can team up with you to navigate your path to recovery.

I am a registered social worker and psychotherapist specialized in pain management. I am dedicated and passionate in helping individuals overcome and recover from chronic pain. I use a biopsychosocial approach to pain assessment and treatment. In my years of treating chronic pain, I have used CBT and mindfulness-based approaches, Emotion Awareness and Expression Therapy, as well as Pain Reprocessing Therapy. I stay apprised of the latest research on the condition of chronic pain and chronic pain treatment.

In addition to working with clients on pain recovery, I am a pain educator in the science of chronic pain. As a hub team member of ECHO Ontario Chronic Pain and Opioid Stewardship Program (UHN), I help upport primary care providers in the management of patients with chronic pain, deliver educational sessions on evidence-based chronic pain assessment and treatment, provide clinical consultations and case-based recommendations. I also contribute to the Power over Pain portal and I am an instructor at the Pain Reprocessing Therapy Centre (USA) who teaches PRT in French to clinicians in Quebec and Europe.
