About Me

As Robyn, a registered Social Worker, I specialise in helping individuals navigate the impacts of trauma. I tailor sessions to your unique story, carefully combining approaches to meet your specific needs. My aim is to create a culturally sensitive space where you feel truly heard. This collaborative method empowers your journey towards healing and resilience.

Approach

Therapy here unfolds at your pace, with steady curiosity and practical experiments to try between sessions so change feels tangible. I meet people in Markham and online in English, keeping a predictable session frame that holds space for difficult feelings and cultural context. We practice short grounding, values-guided steps and gentle memory work to reduce overwhelm and rebuild choice over daily life. This way of working often helps adolescents, adults, couples and families facing anxiety, trauma or shifting identity.
