I'm a  social worker, having completed graduate social work training at Columbia University of New York, followed by a Doctorate in Education (University of Toronto) specializing in Counselling Psychology. I'm a Registered Social Worker in the province of Ontario, and within that license, practice psychotherapy.

​

I've been in private practice for 20+ years, working with OCD, and difficult to treat conditions. I have had success with some difficult-to-treat conditions (though I don't have experience working with substance abuse or those with Borderline Personality Disorder).

​

I co-founded the Milton H. Erickson Institute of Toronto with two colleagues. I have advanced training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Processing), Ericksonian therapy and hypnosis.

​

My work has been featured in dailies and trade magazines across North America. I have presented widely in academic and clinical circles. I'm a published author.

​

I'm a member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals and the Canadian Association of Spiritual Care.
