Come and Journey with Me

Hello and welcome to my blog, Healing Thru Words - The Blog, on mental health, love, living, and overcoming struggles. I have always had a passion for helping others, and I hope to be able to provide my insight and knowledge, and reach as many of you, as possible.

Just a little bit about me. I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science degree in psychology and biology, from the University of Manitoba, and went on to graduate with my Master's of Social Work degree, specializing in clinical social work, from Wurzweiler School of Social Work at Yeshiva University, in New York. I am now a clinical social worker, with my own private practice, Healing Thru Words Therapy Practice. Here, I specialize working with clients who have autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disorders, LGBTQIA2S+ community members, as well helping people with a variety of mental health struggles, including anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar, trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, and addictions of all sorts, just to name a few. In addition to practicing individual therapy, I also conduct play therapy with children, as well as couples and family therapy. I love working with individuals of all ages, ranging from children and teens, to adults and seniors.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to put my clinical knowledge and experience to use, reaching out, and providing assistance and inspiration, to as many of you readers as possible. This blog will be used to discuss mental health struggles, how to best go about dealing and overcoming them, and living your best life despite your existing struggles.

Another topic I'm passionate about exploring with you is the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Exploring membership within the community can be viewed and examined through many different angles, some of which we will get the opportunity to look at together. Also, looking at self exploration and the coming out process, as well as acceptance, both internally and externally are further topics we will explore through this blog.

Furthermore, this blog will explore posts on relationships through topics such as getting through conflicts, growing as a couple, and exploring family dynamics.

For me, as an individual and as a therapist, self acceptance and self love are very crucial topics that need to be focused on more. This blog will also focus on individuals coming to terms with accepting and loving themselves, just as you are, despite the depictions you might see in social media and in the world of entertainment, or the ways you feel you should be. We will cover a variety of other topics and issues, and you can always feel free to reach out about anything you want to see covered in the blog. Please remember you are not alone and you can always feel free to contact me about setting up an appointment at Healing Thru Words Therapy Practice.
