Credentials Verified by PM
I'm Rosanna, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). My therapy services are available both in-person in Burlington and virtually, ensuring accessibility for diverse clients, from children to adults. In my practice, I aim to create a warm, supportive space where clients can feel safe to explore their feelings and thoughts. I utilize a variety of evidence-based treatments, including Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), tailoring each approach to fit the unique needs of each individual. I've also taken a keen interest in supporting children, teens, and adults with ADHD.
My therapeutic approach is also enriched by my extensive background in adult education and my personal experiences as a child of immigrant parents, which infuse my practice with empathy and a profound understanding of cultural adjustment stresses. I am also adept at addressing a wide range of other issues, such as trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, and more, with each session aimed at helping clients enhance their self-confidence, manage their emotions, and achieve personal growth. My work is supervised by Brookhaven Psychotherapy Clinical Director, Tamara Daniszewski, ensuring professional oversight as I continue my professional development.
Outside of my professional life, I am passionate about music and art. Having started my journey as a professional vocalist at the age of 10, I still find joy in singing, especially jazz and classical pieces. My eleven-year-old son is an aspiring animator, and his many creative projects keep me both busy and entertained. I also turn to stand-up comedy for a dose of light and laughter, whether tuning in on the radio, catching a show on TV, or experiencing it live—humour is my pick-me-up, brightening my spirits on the more challenging days.
Through my own personal challenges, I've learned the importance of resilience and love. These experiences have profoundly strengthened my empathetic approach to counselling. I firmly believe in the transformative power of therapy, having experienced its benefits firsthand. Committed to this path, I strive to help my clients form the right therapeutic connections and find treatments that guide them toward recovery, healing, and happiness.
