Hi! I'm so happy you're here. My name is Mia, and I am a registered social worker, as well as a certified clinical trauma professional with a career focus on counselling and therapy.
My focus revolves providing services to those struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and other mental diagnoses. My counselling orientation is using DBT, client centred and strengths approaches, as well as narrative therapy. I am also oriented in providing spiritually integrated psychotherapy to understand a deeper level of self.
My goal in counselling is to support your goals and become the best version of you. I commend you for taking the first step in becoming the best version of you.
