Hey there!
I am so glad you have made this first step to reach out for support. I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). I hold a Bachelors degree in Social Work from The University of Waterloo and I am completing my Masters of Social Work there as well! I am engaging in a practicum internship at Hope Blooms Psychotherapy under the supervision of Kelly Pardy, RSW, MSW. I will be offering LOW COST session rates for people without insurance and/or in legitimate financial need.
I work with individuals who may have concerns relating to:
I have 5+ years of community based work experience supporting adults from various demographics, with notable experience in the Intimate Partner Violence sector. As an fellow human, I too have experienced many challenges. I believe everyone experiences various challenges along their journey and I recognize reaching out and asking for help takes bravery, strength, and courage- you are not alone!
Together, we can explore the concerns and challenges that you experience and utilize your bravery, strength, and courage to develop a path forward towards your goals and healing. I passionately believe that individuals have innate wisdom and I acknowledge you are an expert in understanding your own life- but often times we do not realize this until we have an impartial support to help explore and navigate our thoughts, feelings and experiences. I am passionate about collaborative counselling. I am committed to exploring techniques, tools, and strategies that address your concerns and resonate with YOU.
I am dedicated to providing client-centered work and I strive to develop a therapeutic experience that both addresses your concerns and highlights your strengths. A priority of mine is the development of a secure therapeutic relationship that fosters a safe, open, and non-judgmental space for our work together.
I approach counseling from a client-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed perspective. I draw from therapeutic modalities such as Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy (BSFT). I utilize an eclectic counseling approach, so together we may us a combination of therapeutic modalities.
