Over the past 25 years as a Psychologist, I have gained extensive experience in supporting children, adolescents, & adults from diverse cultural backgrounds and life experiences. Many of the individuals I work with are navigating the impacts of trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, chronic stress, and/or significant life transitions. My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that healing is not just about symptom reduction, but about restoring balance and wholeness. I honour the innate intelligence of both body and psyche as active partners in healing—each holding wisdom, stories, and the capacity for growth and transformation.
I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that honours the deep connection between body, mind, & psyche. I support individuals through evidence-based & somatic practices such as Sandplay Therapy and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, helping them process trauma, regulate their nervous system and reconnect with their sense of self.
Taking the first step toward therapy requires courage, especially when you’re accustomed to caring for others or managing challenges alone. If you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or ready for deeper healing, I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space that integrates mind, body, and psyche. I'm here to walk alongside you with care and support.
