Welcome! If you live anywhere in Ontario, I can support you in overcoming depression, anxiety, difficulties with self-esteem, trauma, sleep problems and managing chronic pain. I am a psychotherapist / social worker with over twenty years' experience in hospital and outpatient settings, working with adults (age 18+). I have guided hundreds of clients in shifting thinking patterns and emotional / behavioural responses, managing stress and developing a more positive, effective, self-affirming approach to everyday life.
I have a non-judgmental, empathetic and trauma-informed approach to therapy. My training is primarily in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and in Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), with elements of other modalities, such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing.
In deciding to engage in therapy, you have already taken an important step towards healing! Each of us experiences challenges, sometimes because of circumstances in the past. You can experience the positive change you are seeking to help you feel better and be more effective in everyday life. I look forward to being a part of your journey!
