I have dedicated my work to the field of mental health, and have provided therapeutic interventions in relation to grief, loss and bereavement, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma/PTSD, schizophrenia, first episode psychosis, and forensic social work.
Life can be difficult, unpredictable, and overwhelming at times. Therapy can assist with reestablishing and developing skills and resources to better manage and cope when facing life's challenges. I would like to help you to realize your personal goals through open communication and the establishment of a respectful therapeutic relationship. I strive to work with individuals to take full advantage of their own internal coping strategies towards achieving balance and improved quality of life. I provide psycho-educational support and supportive counselling to adolescents, adults and their families.

I am a passionate Social Worker with over 7 years of experience working with BIPOC children, youth and adults. I've seen firsthand how mental health issues are stigmatized, especially among racialized communities, leading to a lack of proper care and understanding. It's like we're dealing with a silent crisis, one that's too often overlooked. That's why I have stepped into the field of therapy. I want to break down these barriers and bring those issues into the light. More than anything, I wish to create a safe, supportive space for youth and men - something I wish I had growing up.

Psychosis Counsellors

What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?

The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.

When should people seek treatment for psychosis?

People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.

What if psychosis is left untreated?

Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.

How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?

It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
