Consulting

I hold a Master of Social Work and am Register Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. For the last 20 years, I have worked in community organizations and post-secondary institutions supporting queer & trans people, survivors of sexual violence, sexual harassment, intimate partner violence and other forms of gender-based violence. I offer consultation services to organizations on workplace harassment, sexual violence, and trans inclusion.

Expertise

I offer years of experience in facilitation, supporting survivors of gender-based violence and/or workplace harassment, supporting institutions be to more trans inclusive, and creating resources and training materials that deal with difficult topics in inclusive and non-threatening ways. I can work with you and your team to navigate through difficult situations in ways that align with your values.

Experience

I have developed and delivered trainings to thousands of individuals on subjects of trans inclusion in the workplace, trans inclusive healthcare, consent, workplace harassment, and gender based violence. I have many years providing direct support to survivors of gender-based violence in number of ways including workplace & institutional investigations, reporting to police, court support, medical accompaniments, and systems navigation. I am a skilled facilitator and have worked running trainings, research interviews, focus groups, support groups for survivors, groups for parents of trans youth, and youth groups across Canada.

Approach

I’ll work with you and your team to collaboratively establish your needs and values. Together, we’ll work towards
