5 years experience

Telehealth Counseling and Professional Supervision .

At SS Therapy & Consulting, I provide a secure and confidential platform for you to share your concerns, offering telehealth services via online and telephone systems. This means you can connect with me from anywhere, whether you’re at home, at work, or even on the go. Together, we can address personal or professional challenges that may be impacting your day-to-day life.

In addition to individual counselling, I am proud to offer clinical professional supervision for individuals and groups. If you are studying or pursuing a degree in social work or counselling, I can provide you with the professional guidance, mentorship, and support you need to grow both academically and personally. My supervision sessions are designed to help you gain deeper insights, refine your skills, and prepare you for a successful career in the helping profession.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including single parents, children, adolescents, families, older adults, and individuals from multicultural and multiethnic communities. My practice is built on the principle that everyone deserves access to compassionate care and guidance, no matter their circumstances.

I use evidence-based techniques and a personalized approach to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges openly. By working collaboratively with you, I aim to empower you with the tools and knowledge to build your confidence, overcome obstacles, and move toward a life of self-sufficiency and independence. Together, we’ll identify your strengths, clarify your goals, and create a roadmap for achieving your full potential.
