I am a regulated health professional registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and a member of Ontario Association for Social Workers.  I have been working as a clinical social worker since 1996 in a variety of settings, including emergency department/crisis intervention, inpatient psychiatry, community outreach and hospital affiliated mental health clinics.  The bulk of my professional life was spent at Trillium Health Centre in Mississauga.  

 

​I have a bachelor degree in psychology from the University of Western Ontario, and a master’s degree in social work from the University of Toronto. I pursued specialization in cognitive behaviour therapy and became accredited by the Academy of Cognitive  and  Behavioural Therapies and the Canadian Association for Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies (CACBT-ACTCC). You can learn a lot about CBT and confirm my credentials by accessing the websites of these two organizations.
