Do you lie awake at night because you are feeling overwhelmed and anxious about the obstacles life has thrown at you? Feel detached and confused about a relationship that you feel “stuck” in? Depressed and having difficulty adjusting to a new illness involving you or your loved one? Unresolved anger creating trouble in your relationships and workplace? Or are you at the end of your rope because you are deeply concerned about your child’s behavior? To best suit your individual needs, I offer a variety of evidenced based approaches in a safe space where you can feel free to be 100% of yourself without worrying about being judged.
I have a Master of Social Work Degree with a specialization in Addiction Studies with CAMH. I have OVER 16 years of clinical experience in both hospital and community settings and ample experience treating children/adolescent/adult inpatients presenting with complex mental health issues by formulating and implementing sensitively customized family therapy.
My passion is bringing healing to people who are looking for the guidance and accountability to help let go of old behaviors and to create powerful transformations in their life. Let me help you transition by building self-resilience, acquire evidence-based skills and the needed incremental steps towards a more content and happier life that you deserve.
