ABOUT ME

I am a social worker who is registered and in good standing with the College of Social Workers and Social Services Workers (Registration #829095). When I am not supporting clients in my private practice, I work as a social worker and psychotherapist at a family health team in Toronto. I completed my Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto, and have worked and received training at CAMH and York University.

​

Ongoing learning and growth is important to me. Since completing my Masters’ I have received training in the following therapeutic practices, which I will draw from in our work together: EMDR, internal family systems (IFS), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), dialectic behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness and compassion-focused practices. On a personal level, I have explored many forms of meditation, including Vipassana, and am passionate about using mindfulness as a tool for deeper emotional exploration within oneself.

​

I am also trained to provide two types of structured psychotherapy for the treatment of insomnia and PTSD. Structured psychotherapy is a type of short-term therapy that has been manualized and tested in randomized control trials to ensure its efficacy. In this type of therapy there is a predetermined agenda for each session and homework between sessions. If you are interested in engaging in either cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) or cognitive processing therapy (CPT) for PTSD please let me know and I’d be happy to discuss with you further.
