I received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Social Work (MSW, BSW), and another graduate degree in Public Administration, Policy and Law (MPAL) all from the York University in Toronto. I am also registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Worker authorizing me to practice both Psychotherapy and Clinical Social Work in Ontario. I am also a professionally trained Cognitive Behavior Therapist from University of Toronto School of Medicine in conjunction with the Centre for Addictions and Mental Health (CAMH). I have extensive training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Trauma Therapy and Couple’s Therapy from the Oshawa Psychotherapy Training Institute. I have 10 years of direct therapy work with clients in both the public and the private sectors moving them from onset of symptoms to recovery utilizing various therapeutic modalities such as CBT; DBT, solution–focused, trauma informed, acceptance and commitment therapy, exposure, communication and active listening. My areas of focus include anxiety disorders, trauma, PTSD, MVA, OCD, panic disorders, depression, anger management, stress, and crisis intervention. Other areas include supporting individuals with borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, trichotillomania, eating disorders, substance use, addictions including smoking cessation, and system navigation issues. I worked and helped clients successfully resolved many of these issues. I can work with children, adolescents, adults, families and couples. My ideal client presents to therapy with multiple emotional, psychological, behavioural, coping and sometimes relationship problems. They often suffer from depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, stress, anger and relationship dysfunction. Their therapy goals mostly are centred on emotional regulation by trying to reduce unwanted emotions, reduce emotional suffering and develop coping skills to positively impact their mood and reactivity. My clients need someone they can discuss and share their life problems with; some who will listen to them and validate their feelings and help. I can help through active listening; assessments and developing treatment and services plans together with clients Please note that our associates work with many presenting issues, some of which are not listed in this biography.
