Truth, Healing & Reclaiming your identity, are goals I want you to achieve. The stories we tell ourselves influence how we: perform in relationships; view ourselves, & make sense of our experiences of the world around us. I use a narrative approach, which is effective in helping process topics such as: trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, depression, & family of origin challenges, amongst others. My experience has provided me an in-depth understanding of how social justice issues like: racism, gender discrimination sexual orientation, ability & such impact us. I want to carefully consider the impacts of each with you. I have been working as a social worker since 2008 having helped my clients through a variety of challenges. In my work, I assist in your growth by retelling the story of your experiences so that the stories can help you discover your truth, & heal from past wounds so that you can positively move forward in your life.Trust, Honesty and Respect or “THR”, as I like to call it, are 3 crucial fundamentals that should be part of any therapeutic relationship. I work from an open & non-judgemental mindset, respecting the experiences of each individual. This allows space for you to feel truly heard & understood. I am looking forward to working with you!

I am a Social Worker, (MSW) psychotherapist and a Registered Dietitian. I was born and grew up in the Caribbean, and immigrated to Canada during my adolescent years. Today, the clients of all nationalities that I assist, share that they benefit as much from my relevant life experiences as they do from my combined 30+ years of professional training. Clients seeking assistance with emotional/mental health challenges are often surprised and relieved to find that they have an option of integrating emotional /mental health treatment, with eating and nutrition-related challenges such as eating disorders, disordered eating, emotional eating, and diabetes eating management. While I can integrate both eating and mental health treatments, it is important to note that my psychotherapy knowledge and skills extend well beyond food and eating-related topics. For instance, when I’m called to solely “wear my therapist hat” I choose from Narrative Therapy, CBT, DBT, and Interpersonal Personal Therapy approaches. I draw on clients’ successes, and the result of the ‘homework’ exercise to finally move them beyond the effects of destructive relationship patterns, and systemic societal challenges that have derailed their progress in life. Your evolving level of readiness, coupled with my guidance will pace our sessions toward the empowered life you seek. Congratulations on seeking help today, this is a promising first step on your successful journey. I hope we will have the opportunity to work together to make your life’s goals a reality. It is possible!!
