Mitzi is a dedicated and compassionate clinical social worker committed to fostering growth, resilience, and well-being in the individuals she supports. She holds a Master of Social Work and a Bachelor of Social Work from Dalhousie University, graduating with distinction, as well as a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with honours from the University of Prince Edward Island. She holds a provisional license as a Clinical Social Worker (RSW) with the Nova Scotia College of Social Workers and brings over nine years of professional experience to her practice. Mitzi is also an approved provider for RCMP members and First Nations and Inuit covered under the NIHB Program.

Mitzi previously served as a case manager with Veterans Affairs Canada, where she had the honour of working with Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members and Veterans, including those nearing their release date, former members of the CAF (Regular Force, Reserves, Rangers, and Cadet Instructor Cadre Officers), and members of the RCMP. Through this role, she developed a deep appreciation for the strength, perseverance, and unique challenges faced by those who have served. Her work was guided by compassion, respect, and a strong commitment to empowering clients to navigate their healing journeys and achieve their personal goals.

Throughout her career, Mitzi has worked with children, youth, and adults from a wide range of backgrounds, offering support through major life transitions, personal growth, and challenges. Her approach emphasizes building perseverance, cultivate well-being, and assisting clients to reach their full potential.

Growing up in Prince Edward Island as a person of colour in a less diverse community, Mitzi developed a profound understanding of systemic issues, cultural identity, and the impact of belonging. This lived experience informs her work today, where she approaches her practice with empathy, cultural humility, and a strong commitment to equity and social justice.

As a working mother of two and a fiancé, Mitzi understands firsthand the balancing act many individuals face. Her therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centered, tailored to the unique needs and goals of each person she works with. She draws from several evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), and Solution-Focused approaches. Her practice emphasizes client strengths and fortitude while supporting clients in identifying solutions and creating meaningful change. Mitzi’s work is grounded in attachment-based and trauma-informed frameworks, and she strives to create a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where clients feel heard and respected. She is also registered to complete Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) training in July and will be certified upon completion.

Mitzi’s passion shines through her ability to walk alongside clients as they heal and create meaningful change in their lives.
