HI THERE!

My name is Nora (she/her). I am a psychotherapist registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I graduated with my Master in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Niagara University in 2016. I completed my practical training at Horizons Health Services in Lockport, New York and at the Niagara Eating Disorders outpatient program in Port Colbourne, ON. During this time, I worked with individuals who struggled with substance abuse, dual diagnosis and eating disorders.

 

I primarily use a Cognitive Behavioural framework while also incorporating evidence based  approaches such as mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills, motivational interviewing and solution focused brief therapy techniques.

​

In addition to private practice, I am currently employed as a psychometrist at Ontario Shores, in the Ontario Structured Psychotherapy (OSP) Program. OSP is a provincially-funded initiative that provides evidence based treatment to individuals with mood  and anxiety based concerns. My role with OSP is to provide structured Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in an outpatient setting.

​

My practice is anti-oppressive, LGBTQ+ affirmative, and trauma-informed. I am especially committed to providing a compassion and strength-based approach where the goal is to challenge the inner critic while identifying one's resourcefulness in the face of adversity.
