Provider information
Description
I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree and a Certified Personal Trainer designation. Since 2019, I have been supporting individuals, couples, and families in navigating challenges related to trauma, mental health conditions, and chronic pain management. My therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as Emotion-Focused and Family-Centered Therapy.

Summary
I'm a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist, and Certified Personal Trainer. More importantly, I'm a GTN (Generational Trauma Navigator for individuals, and Give-and-Take Negotiator for couples). I have 6 years of full-time clinical experience and can relate to diverse backgrounds from being a cultural Inbetweener myself. Therapy with me is goal-oriented, collaborative and solution-focused! We can be across two screens, in-person or be in NATURE! If you’re ready to take steps (sometimes literally) towards change, I’d be happy to walk with you—at your pace, on your terms.
