IFS Training: Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems Institute provides training in IFS to practitioners through intensive programs called Level One, Level Two and Level Three. At any point a year or after taking a Level One training a practitioner can apply to become a Certified IFS Therapist with IFS-I by completing further learning, supervision and by having had their work reviewed and accepted by an approved IFS-I certifier. Derek Scott also provides training in IFS and anyone that has completed his Skills and Competencies Course is considered IFS Informed.
IFIO Training: Intimacy from The Inside Out (IFIO) is a form of couples therapy with its roots in IFS. Toni Herbine-Blank and the IFS-I provide a special Level Two (IFIO) that teaches this couples protocol. In addition Toni provides Advanced IFIO trainings.
Welcome to the beginning of your journey towards wellbeing! As a therapist with over 17 years of clinical experience working with all age groups from young children to seniors, my goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and supported. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in your way and work toward meaningful change. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your strengths and resources to embark on your pathway to wellbeing.
I take an Internal Family Systems-informed, strengths-based, and compassionately curious approach. I may also integrate other modalities such as ACT, CBT or DBT to support your healing. I bring compassion, intuition, and skill to this work and specialize in supporting adults navigating mood-related challenges, anxiety, trauma and PTSD and major life transitions.
I’m a registered social worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, especially my grandchildren and being active in nature.
A strong rapport is key, so I invite you to visit my website and book a free consultation to see if we’re a good match. I look forward to connecting with you.
