Hi, I’m Tamara! I’m a Toronto based Social Worker and psychotherapist (MSW, RSW) with nearly 15 years of direct clinical practice. I completed my Masters of Social Work at the University of Toronto with a specialization in Children and Families and a collaborative degree in Addiction Studies.

Over my career, I have had the privilege of working with children, youth, adults and families in community, educational and hospital settings. Most recently, I served as a Clinical Social Worker in an outpatient youth substance use and mental health program at a major psychiatric hospital in Toronto. I practice from an eclectic and integrative treatment model and collaborate with clients to provide individualized services that best suit their identified needs and goals. I work with several evidence-based modalities and have certifications in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Narrative Therapy as well as additional training in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Emotions Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy.

As a lifelong learner, I am committed to ongoing professional development and consultation within the field. I offer a client centered and trauma informed approach to treatment and am passionate about supporting individuals to build on their innate strengths and resiliencies.

I am registered and in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.
