I'm a registered social worker who works with adults and teens (14+) with BPD/traits, emotion dysregulation, PTSD/trauma, complex trauma, binge/emotional eating, depression, anxiety and illness. As well, I support individuals whose lives are in transition because of (anticipatory) grief, a new job/school, family conflict, stress, becoming a caregiver or changes to a relationship. If you're tangled up in life, exhausted of feeling deeply, want your past to stop intruding into your present or are looking to change behaviours I may be able to support you.
I use a feminist, client-centred, recovery and attachment-based approach and am trained in evidence-based modalities like Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. I also use Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy along with talk therapy.
If you are interested in booking an appointment, please email me. Currently, I do NOT have any openings for in-person services in my Toronto-based office, but I am available for virtual appointments. I work with clients Ontario-wide via video and phone.

When working with Clients who have BPD/traits, binge eating and emotion regulation challenges I tend to use Dialectical Behaviour Therapy which provides concrete skills for Clients and can refer to groups. For individuals looking for PTSD and trauma support I may use Cognitive Processing Therapy, an evidence-based approach. I also apply other modalities like ACT, mindfulness and narrative therapy.
