Mental Health Consultant
CurrentI have been coaching clients aged 15 and up through cognitive behavioural therapy for over 5 years at the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Providing service in other languages allows me to be more inclusive of others' learning needs, reduce gaps in service, and help build rapport.Though my primary focus has been on supporting individuals manage and overcome anxiety, worry, and mild to moderate depression, I've become quite familiar and comfortable in assessing suicidal ideation and non-suicidal self-injurious behaviour, including the development of creating safety plans.As an avid writer and reader in my spare time, case-noting and documentation comes naturally for me and I have taken great joy in being able to develop this skill further.
