Marina is a Registered Social Worker (RSW) completing her Master of Social Work at the University of Waterloo. She believes therapy is built on trust, collaboration, and creating a space where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences at their own pace.
Marina has experience supporting individuals impacted by domestic violence and intimate partner violence through her work at the Emily Murphy Centre. In this role, she worked with clients navigating trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, life transitions, and the impacts of abuse. Her approach is trauma-informed, person-centred, and grounded in an intersectional feminist lens, integrating motivational interviewing and solution-focused approaches to support each client's individual needs and goals.
Marina works with youth and adults navigating a variety of challenges, including relationship concerns, trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, identity, and life transitions. She values building a genuine therapeutic relationship and works collaboratively with clients to help them better understand themselves, strengthen existing coping strategies, and move toward the changes that matter most to them.
Marina is committed to providing an inclusive and affirming therapeutic space, offering virtual counselling for clients from diverse backgrounds and identities.
