Provider information
Description
I am the co-founder and Clinical Director of the W Experience Counselling and Wellness Services and have been providing mental health and well-being support to children, adults and seniors for over fourteen years. I have honed my therapeutic skills by working in grassroots and community agencies, addictions, specialized children’s mental health treatment, within an eating disorder clinic and in inpatient and outpatient psychiatry at a hospital. I pride myself on building authentic, non-judgemental relationships with those that I serve and utilize advanced, evidence-based interventions.
