As a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist who’s trauma-informed, my work focuses on helping clients re-establish and rebuild safety with their emotions, their body and to assimilate challenging experiences.
I have trainings in several therapeutic modalities (eg. Ego State Work, Psychodynamic, Compassionate Inquiry, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Attachment Focused Therapy). I adopt an integrative compassionate-based approach from a wide range of evidence-based techniques to adapt to the specific needs, characteristics and situations of my clients.
I have developed a deep passion in supporting clients who experienced relational trauma, and any associated grief and loss. My hope is for clients to regain their sense of autonomy and personal agency, and to live the life they truly want. I look forward to connecting with you through your stories, and walking alongside you in your healing journey!
