About Me
Welcome! I am a Registered Social Worker offering virtual psychotherapy services to Adults (20+) in Ontario.
Prior to establishing my online private practice, I spent close to a decade in non-profit and mental health services, providing therapy, and addiction support to vulnerable populations. My most recent role as a psychiatric therapist focused on specializing in evidence-based modalities to drive meaningful change. This included designing comprehensive programs that integrated various therapeutic approaches, providing clients — including those with mood/anxiety, and psychotic disorders — with structured paths to wellness. Through close collaboration with psychiatrists and other seasoned clinicians, clients were guided through a structured and comprehensive journey toward their recovery.
Beyond my role as a psychotherapist, I am deeply passionate about movement and nutrition. Nearly a decade ago, I embarked on a personal fitness journey marked by numerous trials and discoveries. Through this experience, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact that movement and activity have on mental wellness. I have come to understand that the interpretation of "fitness" differs for each individual. My objective is to integrate movement seamlessly into the therapeutic process. Outside of therapy you can find me weight lifting, hiking, biking, kayaking, or trialing new movement related activities.
Approach
As a psychotherapist and health and fitness enthusiast, my goal is to humbly guide, encourage, and support your journey toward holistic well-being — balancing both mind and body, which are integral to a healthier life. While cognitive-behavioural therapies are crucial tools for addressing specific disorders and anxieties, my approach aims not only to offer that support, but also to uncover deeper meanings in these challenges and gain a more profound understanding of human nature and nurture. By utilizing a diverse range of practices, I assist in cultivating mental and physical perseverance through the pursuit of meaning, purpose, and personal growth.
I adopt an eclectic and personalized approach to mental and physical wellness, tailored to meet each client's unique needs. My methodology is holistic and integrative, providing a non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I firmly believe that everyone possesses the answers within themselves. My aim is to accompany you on your journey, delving into the layers of your being to transform challenges into opportunities for growth, direction, and valued change. I am always grateful for witnessing the evolving growth of my clients who feel more empowered to live a mindful and meaningful life by the end of therapy.

"Let the trees teach you that growth requires patience. Let the wind teach you that you can change direction & speed as you desire. Let the flowers teach you that beautiful thing's do not bloom all year long. Let the ocean teach you that you can be both calm & chaos, gentle & strong. Let the clouds teach you that when thing's get to heavy it is time to release. Let the stars teach you that darkness is needed to see the light. Let the sun teach you that no matter how long you've been hidden you will always rise again". - Carsonkelber
