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.

As a Registered Social Worker and member of the OCSWSSW I specialize in working with individuals and couples with a wide variety of backgrounds and presenting issues. I utilize various modalities to help you improve your emotional well-being, primarily Internal Family Systems and Gottman.
I have been a registered member of the OCSWSSW since 2009, have a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Toronto, as well as an Honours Bachelors Degree in Social Work from Toronto Metropolitan University. I provide virtual individual and couples therapy and strive to create a safe nonjudgemental environment in which to support you on your therapeutic journey. I understand, through my own personal therapy, how challenging it can be to attend therapy. This is why I work collaboratively with my clients to ensure they feel heard, understood, validated, celebrated and on track toward achieving their goals. I welcome clients with diverse sexual preferences, relationship structures, or challenges.
