Personal Statement:
I am a social worker practicing psychotherapy with more than 10 years of experience, working with individuals, couples, families and groups. I am a registered social worker with OCSWSSW and OASW, holding a MSW degree from York University. I am also a Founding Member of the Canadian Association of Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CACBT). During my professional career I received advanced training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Trauma Therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy, Mindfullness and Harm Reduction. Having extensive training in various treatment modalities and working with different people, I believe that each person brings their own personality, experiences and expectations into the treatment. Therefore, I am trying to be flexible, tailoring the approach to each particular client. I try to create a safe environment for my clients, exploring together their strengths and empowering them on their journey to recovery and healing.
