Together we will explore the sources of your present or ongoing struggle and co-create a more effective blueprint on how to regain control over your difficulty.

I am a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist, with comprehensive knowledge of strengths-based, client-centered social work practice, and clear understanding of the challenges affecting the lives of various vulnerable communities. I incorporate a variety of therapeutic modalities to best meet and support the needs and goals of each individual. Accessing mental health support is already challenging as it is, therefore, I want to utilize my skill set to help individuals identify their areas of improvement and provide them with tools to help them achieve their goals.

I believe that people heal through supportive and nurturing relationships. My practice is guided by theories of attachment and development through a trauma-informed lens. Before practicing, I was privileged to work with at-risk children and youth, persons who live with disabilities and chronic illnesses, along with individuals with lived experiences of poverty, abuse, and domestic violence.

I am a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist in Ontario. I provide psychotherapy services from an anti-oppressive framework using a client-centered or family-centered approach to meet the various needs of my clientele. I specialize in trauma, relationship issues, domestic violence, PTSD, addiction, anxiety, attachment, grief and loss, and other mental health concerns. I utilize various treatment tools in individual or group settings, including, CBT, Narrative, EFT, Mindfulness, DBT, Strength and System approaches. We also do cognitive and behavioural assessment and testing at our centers through a Registered Psychologist.

At times, many of us contend with emotions and suffering that are overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and difficult to bear, often as a result of unique stressors and events. I work with adults, adolescents, families and step-families using Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, and DBT/CBT within neuroscience and attachment frameworks. I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth. Whether you or a family member experience depression, anxiety, marital distress or difficulties with peers, you deserve support in a confidential, accepting, safe and caring environment.

Reaching out for support takes a tremendous amount of courage and I commend you for taking this first step. It can be difficult opening up to someone about our problems and feelings. Having a professional to talk to can provide guidance through hard times and a new way of looking at situations that occur in our lives. I encourage you to give it a try and wish you the best on your journey towards wellness.

I believe we all have strength to change within ourselves to get through tough times in life. Sometimes we can do it on our own. Other times we need a helping hand. My aim is to assist you in finding that strength within you to make positive changes during challenging times.
