Feeling Anxious? Depressed? Going through a divorce? Struggling with Addiction? I can help....
I believe that everyone can improve their quality of life and my counseling practice is founded on the promise that I will provide you with a non-judgmental, calm, supportive atmosphere where you can begin to heal yourself from your troubles.
My approach to psychotherapy is strongly rooted in solution-focused counseling, however, I am also well versed in CBT and Motivational Interviewing. When you attend Psychotherapy, you should see results. I am a results oriented person and each session as part of your treatment plan you will be given "homework" that you will be responsible for completing before our next session. This "homework" will be customized to assist you in challenging and overcoming things that are troubling you in your life before our next session together.
Whether you are suffering from low-self esteem, depression, anxiety, psychosis or addictions issues, I can help you. I am also experienced in mediating/resolving relationship issues and family conflicts. I believe that no problem is too small to discuss.
Since 2005, I have worked as a Social Worker/Team Leader at St. Joseph's Health Centre located in Toronto. In 2011, I was the recipient of a St. Joseph's "Legend" Award for Human Dignity. Additionally, I worked as a therapist for several years for one of the largest employee assistance programs in the world. Through treatment planning and counseling, I have helped navigate hundreds of people out of a crisis into a life of stabilization and happiness.
