Online Counselling for Whitby

I am a Registered Social Worker with the OCSWSSW (Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers) and OASW (Ontario Association of Social Workers). I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from University of Toronto and an Undergraduate Degree in Social Work from Ryerson University. During my Bachelors and Master’s programs, I completed placements with the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, where you as the client are the expert of you and your story, and as we work together to build trust and a relationship, I can lend my clinical skills to aid in achieving your therapeutic goals. My approach is grounded in the style of therapy called Internal Family Systems, where I strive to be collaborative and empathetic in order to elicit behavioral change.

Are you yearning for lasting freedom from the challenges that weigh you down in life? Do you feel like your therapy journey thus far has been limited and not quite getting to the root of it all? If you answered yes, then I can help.

Do you need a quiet, safe space to gain clarity and meaning, to reflect on relationships and to become a better person? I am here to support you as you navigate your paths to healing, change, and growth. I will help you work through the challenges of life and support your emotional, relational, and mental well-being. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I also work with individuals experiencing a variety of other concerns.

Namaste! I provide individual, relationship and marriage counselling, in a nonjudgmental, relaxed environment. Over the last 35 years I have worked with individuals and couples guiding, teaching and helping them by using an eclectic approach, and a variety of different types of modalities depending on the particular needs of my clients. I also provide family mediation and relationship counselling for couples who have split. I am a sex therapist, working with all couples and individuals. I specialize in many areas, as I believe all issues are connected, so to treat problems in isolation is unrealistic and can be short lived.

My passion is helping people in distress find their unique voices and build positive relationships.I hold a Bachelor of Applied Science from the University of Guelph and a Masters in Social Work from the University of Toronto.I have been practicing for over 25 years; originally in the public sector including Children's Aid Society, Bridgepoint Health & Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences. I have been in Private Practice for the last 10 years. My practice is informed by a range of therapy models including, psychodynamic, family systems, cognitive behavioural, conflict resolution, narrative and emotion focused therapies.

My experience, education and trauma informed approach to my practice allows me to effectively navigate through the initial stages of crisis. As a registered social worker, I provide integrated support and client tailored intervention to children (9+), adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have provided psychotherapy services to individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, ED's, PTSD, self-esteem and physical disability as a result of a motor vehicle accident. As well, I have years of experience providing psychosocial assessment and supportive counselling to youth through child focused mentorship services.

Navigating through life can be challenging with the struggles we face such as, but not limited to, aversive life events, unwanted changes, uncertainties about the future, loss of a loved one, conflicts in relationships, and becoming your authentic self. Much of these life struggles throw an imbalance to our mental health wellness, causing difficult emotions to arise that seem to permeate through and taint every aspect of our lives. These challenging times may feel endless, and you may feel lost, but know that you are never alone.

I am a firm believer that there is no one right or true way to engage in therapy. Everyone comes with a set of their own unique life experiences, which requires an individualized take on achieving personal goals and overcoming barriers. My approach is based in evidence and strength based practice, while focusing on you and where you are in your journey. We will work together to create a safe and empowering environment. You will receive support in gaining insight, developing coping mechanisms and strategies and strengthening the foundation of your authentic self through methods such as CBT, EFT, Attachment & Trauma Approaches.

Problems are inevitable and normal in life, some can be small and some bigger than one can handle. At that time an extra set of hands surely help. I can be that extra set of hands to pick you up when you are down by listening to you without judging, guiding you to get back to the rhythm of life, and cheering you from side lines, using some time tested techniques that have helped many to overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, anger issues, addictions and grief, to name a few. I have helped many people in my 25 years of professional life in USA and Canada. I invite you to join me to explore your unending possibilities in life.

Looking for the right therapist can be challenging and stressful. When I sit across from a client, I value and respect that I am being invited into important, personal situations, thoughts, and vulnerabilities. My philosophy to clinical work comes from my belief that you are trying to do the best you can and want support to do better. I will both accept you for where you are at, while helping you pushing toward the change you are looking for. I collaborate with my clients to then tailor the therapy I provide to the individual-pulling on my experience, trainings, and the understanding that we all are human.
