Healing is one of the bravest choices we can make for ourselves. My experience in working with clients who have lived through trauma has afforded me a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection, and how we can struggle to live full and connected lives when we are out of sync with our needs and values. I hope to support clients in resolving challenges by building upon their strengths and tools. From my own lived history, I also take special interest in working with issues around acculturation, identity, and cultural and spiritual abuse.

My experience in working with clients who have experienced trauma has afforded me a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection. I have supported clients in navigating different challenges, including anxiety, depression, relational conflict, and self-worth. My counseling approach is deeply rooted in empathy and a diverse set of therapeutic modalities. Healing looks different for each and every individual, therefore I tailor my methods to suit each individual's specific needs, drawing from techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, mindfulness practices, and inner child work. Furthermore, my work is embedded in non-judgmental, trauma-informed, and multicultural practices. I have a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology and am a registered clinical counsellor.I hold deep regard for the stories each person carries and strive to create a safe and nurturing space for my clients to explore their emotions, reinforce strengths, and build tools and awareness that fosters the life they want to live.live. My work is deeply embedded in non-judgmental, trauma-informed, and multicultural practices to support the unique stories of each of my clients.

It is incredibly powerful to recognize we have the choice to change, even when change is scary. Allow me the opportunity to navigate this new path with you. With kindness, compassion, and empathy, I welcome you to a safe place to heal.
