Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist
Are you struggling in your relationships with others? Relationships are often complex and complicated. As human beings, we need others, and when there are challenges in our relationships, we suffer and struggle. We all need to be loved and cared for, yet, we often push away the very people we want to be close to. Rejection or the fear of it, could be so painful and makes us withdraw, isolate or hurt back. As a result, we may feel inadequate, unlovable, unworthy, and hopeless. Deep down, we want to feel connected with the important people in our lives; we want to feel good about ourselves, and at peace.
I have over eight years of experience offering individual and family therapy to children,individuals, and families struggling with various complex challenges. My approach is traumainformed and attachment based. I am here to understand you and help you understand yourself better, so that we can identify your needs and work together towards your goals.
I can offer you a compassionate and non-judgmental space where we can explore stories, find new meaning in them, explore coping skills, discover your strengths, resilience, and tap on your inner wisdom. I will work with you as you grow confident and at peace with yourself and in your relationships.
I have completed a B.A. in Psychology at Athabasca University and a Masters in Social Work at the University of Toronto. I am a member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and the Ontario Association of Social Workers.
