About

Lux completed a Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work at McMaster University. With empathy and compassion, Lux works together with clients to gently unpack and address difficult emotions and experiences. Their sessions are a safe space for clients to express themselves without expectation or judgment. Lux brings substantial life experience to their work with clients, as a mother, as a stage 3 cancer survivor, as someone who experienced anxiety much of their life, in addition to various other family, relationship, parenting and health challenges.

Lux has supported clients through such issues as anxiety, boundary setting/’people-pleasing’ tendencies, burnout, depression, childhood/family trauma, relationship issues, illness/post-illness and life transitions. Their eclectic practice incorporates elements of self-compassion work, mindfulness, narrative therapy, acceptance & commitment therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy and dialectical behavioural therapy. For clients who identify as spiritual, Lux weaves spiritual concepts into the therapeutic conversation where helpful in making sense of issues and growing beyond these difficulties.

Lux approaches therapy from an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed perspective. People self-identify in a variety of ways, and Lux regards these identities as positive, welcome and deserving of respect. As a social worker, Lux understands their important responsibility to uphold the dignity and worth of the individual and to promote social justice, which includes helping to empower individuals who experience marginalization due to race, gender, sexuality, mental health, physical health conditions or impairments, neurodivergence, religion, age, socioeconomic status, and/or other identities.

Lux is registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW).
