Therapeutic Approach
I’ve been practicing social work (and time sure does fly by quickly as that started 30 years ago).
I am a Social Worker and Psychotherapist (MSW, RSW) registered with The Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I graduated from Trent University with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and continued my studies at York University where I obtained both a Bachelor and a Masters in Social Work. My experiences include working in clinical practice, case management, advocacy, and training/facilitation. I am trained and practice in evidence-based approaches including: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Crises Intervention, and Narrative Therapy. I provide a safe and inclusive space as I work from an anti-oppressive people-centered approach, including trauma-informed approaches.
Our sessions together include a structured approach where we will focus our intention on your unique strengths; establishing and redefining your goals; creating plans around areas of growth and challenges while learning and practicing practical tools that work best for you; and helping to disrupt and change old beliefs, thoughts and behaviours. As a certified Yoga instructor (200RYT), it is not uncommon for our time together to also include a breathing technique or mindfulness approach from time-to-time as it helps us to remain aware of our mind-body connection and provides a holistic approach that includes all of you.
I am an adventurer by nature and a water enthusiast at heart! My personal time is spent mostly in or near the water enjoying an early sunrise paddle, or just a lazy beach day enjoying a little volleyball and listening to the waves. When I get opportunities to travel, I head straight to the… you guessed it, the ocean! You will find me seeking out adventure and serenity beneath the waves as a PADI Certified Scuba Diver learning about our underwater animal and plant friends. On land, you will find me at the local Yoga studio bending and breathing through life, one yoga pose at a time.
Start off your therapy journey with a consultation call or by booking an appointment with me.
