My Therapeutic Approach
My goal is to provide a very laid back, comfortable experience for my clients. I have varied life experiences spending years in factory work (shift work), construction and heavy labor, as well as spending years working in non-profit work with inner-city youth in Toronto. In my early 30's I was laid off from the Auto industry and decided to go back to school for Social Work eventually getting my Bachelor and Master degrees.
I utilize a multimodal approach to therapy tailored to meet the client's needs, goals, and preferences. I am known for being tactfully bold and straightforward with my clients yet at the same time, being able to 'read the room' and show compassion when necessary. I put much emphasis on building rapport and a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients, as this absolutely necessary in order to promote healing and growth.
I have spend many years working with diverse individuals and couples from many different cultures and backgrounds and I believe it is a great privilege and honor to serve others and share in their experiences. I would look forward to the opportunity to work with you and start the therapeutic journey together.
