Online Psychotherapy and Counselling

As a dedicated registered social worker, I specialize in providing client-centered care that respects and values each individual’s unique journey. My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy and collaboration, ensuring a safe space where clients can explore their emotions and experiences at their own pace.

Approach:
My practice is deeply rooted in trauma-informed care, recognizing the profound impact of past experiences on present behaviors and emotions. I prioritize creating a nurturing environment that promotes healing and empowerment. I believe in a collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients are active participants in their own healing journey. Together, we work towards fostering self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful change.

Modalities: I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress. By focusing on practical strategies and techniques, CBT supports clients in achieving tangible and lasting improvements in their lives.
Additionally, I incorporate Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques, which emphasize mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. DBT enhances clients’ ability to manage intense emotions and navigate interpersonal challenges more effectively.
Background: With a Masters of Social Work degree and over 7 years of experience in various clinical settings, including community mental health and correctional services, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds in overcoming challenges and achieving personal growth.

Life is hard and there is no secret weapon, no magic bullet. But “hard” doesn’t have to mean “bad”, and it never means “hopeless”. In the middle of everything we face, we can discover meaning in our lives and find a reason and strength to push through difficult times. It is up to each of us to identify our purpose, and mine is to walk with you through the hard work of determining yours. Whatever life situation you’re facing, I’m here to help.

I am a qualifying member of the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario, with a Master’s degree in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy. I take an Existential approach to therapy focussed on the work of practitioners such as Viktor Frankl, Alfried Laengle and Irvin Yalom. Accustomed to working with adults from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of struggles, gender expressions and beliefs, I have experience helping people struggling with addiction issues, depression and anxiety, as well as those seeking to explore their purpose in life. I incorporate facets of Narrative therapy as well as Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focussed therapy.
