​

I am a social worker in Canada and a peer-reviewed acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) trainer. I specialize in treating attachment- and trauma-related issues with people of all ages. I currently work independently running my own practice, the Zen Social Worker. I have worked in not-for-profit community counselling as a trauma specialist and in health care settings in hospitals and in the community.  I am the founder of Mindful Yoga-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (MYACT), which blends yoga and meditation for people in mental health settings.
