meet tanya

Hey, I’m Tanya! I am a Social Worker (MSW, RSW) who is devoted to fostering healing and meaningful change in people’s lives. I bring a holistic approach that emphasizes a safe environment for you to heal from challenging and painful life experiences, build skills, and explore the cultivation of inner strength.

Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of working in diverse settings, including hospital emergency services, outpatient mental health facilities, and at a systemic level for the provincial government. I work with young adults and adults who are looking to address ADHD, anxiety, depression, first episode psychosis, trauma, and various aspects tied to communication patterns, relationships, and family dynamics. Recognizing that the therapeutic journey is unique for each person, my goal is to provide an integrative approach, meeting you where you are with curiosity and compassion. I am committed to helping you get there with genuine empathy and warmth.

As a dedicated yoga practitioner, I am also passionate about teaching mindfulness skills.

My hope for our work together is to cultivate an environment where you feel safe, secure, and supported to show up as your authentic self. Embarking on the meaningful journey of understanding your own story requires courage, and it would be my honor to walk alongside you.
