I am a Toronto-based social worker with over 10 years of private practice experience working with children, adolescents and adults in individual counselling and group facilitation environments.  I have extensive experience working in the community including schools, hospitals, and rehabilitation centres. 

 

I believe that it takes great strength to seek support during challenging times in our lives.  I bring compassion, enthusiasm, and patience to my work. I work alongside my clients to truly understand their emotional concerns and to support them as they navigate through various obstacles. I view therapy as a collaborative effort designed and implemented to cater to each individual’s needs. I use a holistic approach, viewing health through both the body and the mind.  I build relationships grounded in trust and connection with my clients.

My education and experience has taught me that we can overcome our suffering with awareness, intention, action and support. I have a deep commitment to continued learning and professional development and continue to complete workshops/certificate programs to maintain best practice and evidence-based approaches.
