About me
I am a disabled Social Worker based in Toronto. I am a disability-affirming therapist with over a decade of experience. I work from a trauma informed anti-oppressive approach.
I see myself as a guide or ally in the process of healing. I work with people where they're at, focusing on the strengths, hopes, and goals of each person.
