I am passionate about my work in the field of Psychotherapy, and I take pride in providing compassionate, empathetic, non-judgemental and trusting therapeutic relationship throughout the process. I strive to empower individuals to overcome their personal emotional barriers to improve overall mental health and move on successfully.
My work is client centered using a variety of modalities such as CBT, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, EMDR and Hypnotherapy, individually or in combination according to client’s unique needs.
I have experience working outside of Canada with a diverse clientele presenting with a variety of issues. Most of my work experience is with children and adolescents who have faced traumatic events including childhood emotional, physical and sexual abuse. I have helped my clients to get over the trauma and anxiety arising as a result of abuse.
