If you want to find your own life back, I would love to be your guide. As a Canadian Certified Counsellor, I specialize in PTSD and Complex Trauma. I have done extensive training in working with trauma with adolescents and adults. I am trustworthy. I work with the newest trauma therapy modalities. I use a combination of parts work (Internal Family Systems), Somatic therapy, eye-brain techniques, Emotional Focused Therapy, and Attachment theory. I am certified in level 2 of Complex Trauma Certification Training (CCPT-2). I have lived in four countries and aim to be culturally informed, strength-based, and collaborative.

I work with a strength-based biopsychosocial lens and aim to be culturally sensitive. Depending on your presenting situation, I utilize several evidence-based modalities to best support you.

I respect you taking the step to improve your life. I offer 15-minute phone consults wherein we can determine if we are a good fit for your needs.

I use a combination of Parts work, eye-brain techniques, Somatic strategies, and emotion-focused work, through the lens of Attachment. Clients often share that they feel they have a deeper understanding and an increased overall quality of life.
