Many times we find ourselves "stuck in a rut" not knowing how to address our challenges. It looks like we are separated from our goals and we are not sure how to move forward. Seeing a psychotherapist is like the process of crossing the bridge to freedom from "here" to "where you want/need to be". In my practice, I use a holistic treatment approach consisting of: psychotherapy , lifestyle management strategies (sleep, nutrition, physical exercise), building support and at client's request spiritual/ faith-based practice(s).
I have over 20 years of experience working as a Psychotherapist & Clinical Social Worker in a variety of settings such as: private practice, hospital -mental health unit, addiction services, family health team, community counselling agencies and child welfare. In addition, I have extensive experience supervising students and providing clinical supervision.
I am a certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant in Training and I am passionate about working with individuals, couples and families struggling with trauma, addictions, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, stress and burn out.
