If you are searching for a safe and supportive therapist who will not judge or impose any opinions on you, you have found her.
If you are longing for a therapist who believes in your innate ability to make the necessary changes to build a life you truly love, you have found her. I wholeheartedly believe that you can experience satisfaction in your relationships, your health, your vocation and have time and money freedom.
If you call me, you will be engaged in an affirming and validating process that helps you unearth amazing competencies that you didn’t even know you had. You will be supported yet challenged to move forward and make the changes that you are longing for.
Therapy is for everyone and is not a sign of weakness or a lack of faith in God. Our religious beliefs should not prevent us from reaching out for help when we need it most. We can all benefit from a supportive ally who reminds us of who we truly are when it’s difficult for us to see it.
I have had some very challenging life experiences and was able to overcome them and thrive with the support of great therapists. Consequently, I truly believe in the process you will be engaging in. And I embody the work I do everyday as a parent of a young adult daughter and a teenage son and I’ve been married for over 20 years.
I absolutely love the work I do and consider it the utmost privilege to be able to support individuals such as you in a transformative process.
I am a highly skilled psychotherapist and life coach who is licensed to practice in both the US and Canada.
For almost two decades I have been providing evidence based mental health and wellness services to clients in various settings including private practice, community hospitals, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, nonprofit community health centres, schools and an Ontario Family Health Team.
I obtained my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Connecticut with a substantive focus in Mental Health and Substance Abuse. Upon graduation, I completed the required clinical training under supervision and passed the examination to become a licensed psychotherapist in the State of Connecticut. I am also a Registered Social worker and psychotherapist in Ontario. I am a clinician who is committed to lifelong learning as evidenced by my recent completion of a rigorous life coaching program which culminated in me becoming a certified life coach. When you work with me, you will benefit from my unique training and perspective as a seasoned mental health provider who can delve into the underlying causes of your problems while inspiring you towards a brighter and more fulfilling future.
I utilize research validated approaches such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), emotion focused therapy (EFT) for couples, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing and solution focused therapy. I am also a licensed body positive therapist who utilizes research validated approaches to help individuals grow to love and accept their unique bodies and break the unhealthy cycle of fad diets and body loathing which is so prevalent in our society. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches to address the unique needs of my clients and I have significant experience working with people from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
I am a Christian but my work is not limited to any religious or belief system. I am a non judgmental therapist who has worked with and supported people of all religious faiths and backgrounds. As a first generation immigrant to Canada I have a unique perspective that keeps me open minded and accepting of all people. In my free time I love to travel and experience new cultures. I also love to bake and dance!
I live my life mindfully and joyfully regardless of my circumstances. I believe you can too.
