Provider information

Description

There are several educational pathways to a career in counselling. I decided to do a Master of Social Work (MSW) because I liked the focus on individuals within their communities, such as families, friendships, neighborhoods and the groups people chose to identify with, e.g. racially, spiritually, or in terms of gender). I also liked that Social Work prioritizes making the world a more equitable and just place. 

After getting an MSW from the University of Toronto, I stayed in Ontario for another seven years and worked as a counsellor at a women’s health centre.
