I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with over a decade of experience providing assessment and psychotherapeutic services. I have a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from the University of Manitoba and a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto (MSW). In addition to my independent practice, I have a clinical role at a large mental health teaching hospital. I hold Adjunct Lecturer Status in the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto. My practice is an affirming space for diverse communities, including gender and sexually diverse (LGBTQ) clients and allies.
There are a number of modalities used in psychotherapy as you may have discovered in your search. My approach is integrative and evidence informed, drawing primarily from a psychodynamic and relational framework. I am attentive to how your past and early life experiences, and social context, have influenced you.
I am a qualified provider of secondary surgical assessments for those seeking Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care funding approval for gender affirming transition-related surgeries. I follow the World Professional Association of Transgender Health Standards of Care. I can also assist you with your primary care provider in accessing hormones.
