EMDR Certified Therapist
I hold a Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from York University and have extensive training and certifications in various therapy modalities. Since completing my MSW in 2010, I have worked in diverse mental health settings: a hospital, residential mental health treatment centre for youth, walk-in counseling clinic, in-home intensive therapy and community-based youth mental health services. In addition to this experience, I have worked with youth, adults and families in private practice since 2013.
Things that I value in life (and in my work) include: showing up as an imperfect human, humour, and creativity. Even in the moments of working through the deepest pain, we might laugh (or swear) together. Our work together is a space that you can bring your whole self. We can challenge each other and this is part of the respect and trust that we build. There is not a big difference in how I show up in the therapy room from how I show up in my life – people tell me they like working with me because I don’t give off overly ‘therapist-y’ vibes.
That said, I am a self-professed therapy nerd, learning about new theory, techniques and applications in my spare time. The combination of my expertise and experience, our combined creativity and commitment to your healing, and your feedback about what techniques resonate for you (or not!) are the ingredients to helping you move towards the version of ‘you’ that you want to be.
