Registered social worker and psychotherapist. Specializing in working with adolescents and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, behaviour or anger issues, attachment, couples conflict, grief and loss, trauma, low self-esteem or conflict. When working with clients, my focus is to ensure that a safe, healthy and respectful space is provided to people of all ages, social backgrounds and cultural beliefs. I am committed to maintaining a practice that is anti-racist, anti-oppressive, 2SLGBTQ+ friendly and accessible.
I apply a diverse range of therapeutic methods, with certification in Attachment, Trauma, CBT, Grief & Bereavement, and Suicide Intervention Skills. My focus is to help identify your barriers, develop coping strategies, and empower you to work through your challenges.
I run a private practice and work part time as a social worker for Boomerang Health-Sick Kids Hospital. My qualifications include MSW, BSW, RSW & Accredited Family Mediator.
