Hello! My name is Karen, and I am happy you have stopped by. I am a registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. My work is rooted in anti-oppressive and trauma-informed practice. Through my employment, I have a history of working in advocacy and social well-being with people from different walks of life. 
 
I understand it can be scary, difficult, and uncomfortable to seek support. This is why my objective is to build a meaningful and trusting therapeutic relationship with you. My approach to counselling is to work collaboratively to address the challenges you are experiencing.  
 
I incorporate an eclectic style of evidence-based therapeutic modalities to provide you with a supportive and empowering environment that is safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental. We will work together to build on existing strengths and gain new skills and practical coping strategies to improve your overall well-being. 
 
I believe we are each the expert of our own lives and have an innate capacity for healing. I would be honoured to walk alongside you on your journey. –
