I am a Clinical Social Worker and Coach who specializes in helping individuals, couples and families, and I maintain a private practice with offices in Mississauga and Toronto, Ontario.
With over 24 years of experience as a therapist, and a graduate of Wilfrid Laurier University, I currently serve as a private practitioner working with a broad spectrum of clients. I have worked in child welfare, children's mental health, in the medical system (In/fertility counselling & education), and in family services agencies. Among my areas of expertise are working with individuals who struggle with feeling overwhelmed, stressed and anxious; working with couples who have fertility concerns; and working with families and their children, addressing a number of issues from childhood depression, trauma, and anxiety to AD(H)D.
In addition, I have presented to professional and general audiences speaking on the following topics: Stress and the Family; Woman Abuse from a Global Perspective; The Impact of Childhood Abuse; Borderline Personality Disorder and Trauma; The Impact on Children who Witness Domestic Violence; Parenting Strategies; Crisis Intervention & Prevention; Suicide Prevention & Intervention
.
My approach is collaborative and directed by what you want to achieve. I believe that each person has within themselves the ability to heal and change. As a therapist my role is to facilitate a process that will help you connect to your own wisdom and ultimately your own solutions.
My passion as a therapist is in helping people move from a place of confusion, fear, stress and overwhelm to a place of greater clarity and confidence. I enjoy helping people connect to themselves and others through their heart, increasing the capacity to love yourself as well as others. The work I do is heart-centered and my mission is to inspire as many people as possible to live through their hearts in a way that honours who they are and helps them connect to their highest potential.
