Hello! My name is Kristen, and I am a dedicated and empathetic individual on a journey to becoming a Registered Social Worker. My interests currently lie in the well-being of clients and has driven me to want to make a positive impact in the lives of the people that I am working with. I am devoted to creating a safe and supportive environment for individuals.
I enjoy working with individuals who are experiencing life transitions, self-esteem issues, stress, and mental health concerns surrounding anxiety and depression. I integrate various therapeutic approaches with a focus on Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). I am trained in Level 1 & Level 2 of the Gottman Method and have experience working with couples.
I am focused on understanding you and your relationships holistically by looking through a biological, psychological, sociological, familial, spiritual, and cultural lens.
I am currently pursuing a Master of Social Work at the University of Toronto where I am gaining a strong foundation in psychological theories, counselling techniques, and ethical practices. I am specializing in mental and physical health. I am pleased to be completing my practicum experience at Matt Eldridge Counselling. My expected year of graduation is May 2025. My journey began at Toronto Metropolitan University where I completed a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Sociology. I have a background of working with couples, individuals with disabilities, planning and organizing events for church youth groups, and as a crisis line support worker.
If you are currently experiencing difficulties and seeking support, I invite you to reach out. I am happy to answer any questions, and I look forward to the possibility of working together on your path to wellness!
