Since becoming a social worker I have been passionate about about working with women. I began my career working with, and advocating for abused women. I then transitioned into healthcare, where I worked in Women’s Health and then both paediatric and adult emergency departments within the hospital setting. My journey with women and their families has provided me the honour of walking with them and holding space for them during their losses and joys. My practice is guided by trauma informed care, unconditional positive regard, empowerment and collaboration. It is my passion to help my clients find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, complete, whole and safe. I am also excited to be working with couples as I believe that our personal relationships can offer our greatest opportunities for growth and healing.

Motherhood can be a beautiful time of blissful joy. It can also be drastically different than expectations and involve feelings of confusion, overwhelm, and devastating sorrow. When our reality differs from our dreams and we find ourselves struggling, there is opportunity, and there is hope! I author my journey of motherhood as one of unravelling and rebirth- and what a gift it all has been. I believe motherhood is a privilege, as well as one of the most difficult roles in the world, and one that no woman should experience alone. I believe that every story deserves a space to be told, and every woman deserves the opportunity to feel confidence, joy, connection and vitality in her mind, body, spirit, and relationships.

Motherhood is an opportunity for love to bloom- love for self, baby, family, and community. For over ten years, I have worked with individuals, children, and families. My passion for supporting women and mothers is inspired by my experiences of bearing witness to the life stories of adults and children alike, as well as being a mother myself. I believe that women and mothers are the foundation of our communities; the thread that weaves us all together who are uniquely poised to build vibrant and connected communities. However, to do this we first must have the opportunity to be well ourselves.

My practice is relational, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive. Above all I aim to create a warm, safe, and compassionate space for you to explore and nourish your mind and spirit. I believe you have inherent wisdom and endeavour to help you grow to trust it. I incorporate strengths-based and solution focused approaches into practice and have specialized training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Circle of Security Parenting (COS-P). I am currently completing a Canadian Certificate in Perinatal Mental Health (CC-PMH) and am a Registered Social Worker in Ontario holding both a Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) and Master of Social Work.

I support women wherever they may be in relation to motherhood including throughout the perinatal period, with experiences such as mood and anxiety concerns, identity transitions, parenting, loss, and relationships. Within this role, I am constantly humbled and amazed at the strength and love of mothers that defy all natural laws. It is my hope that mothers celebrate their innate beauty and love themselves with grace, giving themselves permission to be present, not perfect. I would be delighted to walk with you on your journey of motherhood to support you in making it what your heart truly values!

As a Registered Social Worker, I aim to provide a non-judgmental, safe and supportive therapeutic environment where you can feel seen, heard and understood. I hope to support you in the process of identifying feelings, coping with distress and regulating emotions so that you can build the life you want.

I provide support to individuals who have experienced emotional distress, various mental health difficulties, substance misuse or trauma. It is a privilege to witness the strength and resiliency demonstrated by the children, youth and families that I have the opportunity to work with.

I strive to utilize an evidence-based and anti-oppressive approach throughout the therapeutic process. This means using techniques that are supported by research; combined with your unique needs throughout the acceptance and change process. I have experience working in a variety of settings within the community and currently work in an inpatient hospital setting. I practice from a client centred and integrative approach dependent on the individuals difficulties and our treatment goals. I have completed trainings in CBT, TF-CBT, DBT and EMDR.

Hi there, I’m Izzy and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) here at Rebirth! I am also a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, a friend and a member of your community. There are so many layers to who we are and as a new or seasoned parent, it can be difficult to find balance in juggling all these pieces, expectations and to-do lists. It can be so overwhelming and at times, isolating.

I want you to know that you are not alone and that I would be honoured to support you. My approach to therapy is centred around the client’s experience and I strive to integrate authentic and genuine connection, humour and safety into the therapeutic space.

Our work together might be scary, uncomfortable, difficult and exhausting, and it also might be liberating, empowering, comforting and exactly what you need. I will encourage reflection and exploration of narratives, beliefs or patterns that may no longer serve you while highlighting your strengths and introducing practical skills to find clarity and promote change. I am going to meet you where you are, and help you walk through the ‘big’ and ‘little’ things that are keeping you stuck.

Pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, relationships, work… life (!) doesn’t have to feel so unmanageable. Sometimes all we need is someone to see us exactly as we deserve to be seen, to help the pieces fall into place and for us to feel we can breathe again. I can be that person for you, and I can’t wait to hear from you soon.
