Currently, we are living in a world that is at best tense, and finding our peace is a daily struggle. In our lives, we are encouraged to, told, and at times, forced to continue as if nothing is happening or seriously wrong. In my practice, I provide space for open dialogue and a holistic approach to therapy which encourages recovery and healing. In my over 17 years of working as a clinical social worker with youths and adults ranging from diverse & intersectional backgrounds, I have learned that the space we create together in combination with the relational work is the most important. My lived experiences allow me to acknowledge a wider perspective of society and the intersectional barriers faced by people from a wide range of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. This informs the ways I provide support to individuals living with anxiety disorder, BPD, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorders, psychosis, chronic pain management, those affected by domestic abuse, trauma, marginalization, race-based PTSD, grief & bereavement.

I have obtained additional training and certifications which enables me to offer the necessary support to individuals that I support. I work from holistic and strength-based perspectives, and I utilize a variety of counseling approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Supportive therapy, Solution-focused therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

I am a Compassion Fatigue Specialist, and I have a clinical certificate in trauma counseling. I have also been trained to provide Anger Management counseling, motivational interviewing, and psychoeducation.
