Jane's love of people, and connection to community and family health is at the foundation of her social work journey. Within hospital and community settings she has worked with families and individuals with a wide range of concerns as they struggle with stress, workplace and family conflict, anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress disorder, ADHD, Autism, grief and often chronic illness. It has been an honor over the past 30 years to witness individuals healing as they successfully:

• Create a team that can supported them in connecting to their strengths
• Create a space to be supported in
• Connect to the interests and passions that reconnect them with a place of health
• Know that `struggling is not failing'
• Cultivate and nurture a deep compassion and kindness for themselves and those they love

When not working Jane is drawn into the beauty of Simcoe County and the spectacular sunsets over Georgian Bay; she enjoys volunteering with local non-profits, paddling into the wetlands, biking the old rail trails and listening to the sounds of the lake in the deep of winter. Jane loves the music created within the world around her. She has been extremely grateful over the past few years for all the creativity she has witnessed, for example, how our local library system kept our community connected together with zoom programs, and supported lifelong learning and access to books.

Jane provides psychological services under the supervision of a Registered Psychologist. ​For more information about supervised psychological services, please click here.
