This profile remains online as a historical overview of my professional background, publications, and therapeutic approach developed over more than three decades of clinical practice.

​

I completed graduate social work training at Columbia University in New York, followed by a Doctorate in Education (University of Toronto) specializing in Counselling Psychology. I am a Registered Social Worker in Ontario and, throughout my career, practiced psychotherapy within that scope.

​

Over more than 20 years in private practice, my work focused on OCD and other difficult-to-treat conditions. While I did not specialize in substance use disorders or Borderline Personality Disorder, I developed an integrative approach to assessment, psychotherapy, personality development, and personal growth.

​

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

​

My work has been featured in newspapers and professional publications across North America. I have presented widely in academic and clinical settings and am the author of several books and publications.

I remain 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.
