Hi, I'm Carmel — the person on the other side of the screen.

I was born and raised in Vancouver, now living in Toronto. I come from a Jewish immigrant family — a formative part of my story that shapes how I show up in my work. My curious and empathetic nature guided me to complete my Master of Social Work at the University of Toronto.

Since then, I've worked in hospitals, family service agencies, and private practice — supporting people through many different chapters of life. I have a particular interest in how both small and significant traumas impact our brains, nervous systems, and aspects of our personal lives. I've been humbled to work with clients who have lived in violent homes, as well as clients who have contributed to that violence. I believe we all have the capacity to look inward and heal — whether from harm done to us, or harm we have caused.

Outside of my practice, I love to play — whether that's at the gym, working on a new craft, outdoors with loved ones, cycling around the city or experimenting in my kitchen.
