Offers online therapy
I am offering in person and virtual counseling at this time. Virtually is either by video platforms or over the phone.
About
I have more than 15 years of experience of providing therapy to diverse individuals from a wide spectrum of cultural, socio-economic, ethnic, educational and other diversified (multicultural, multiracial and multiethnic) backgrounds. I work mostly with youth and their families, experiencing difficult life transitions, stress, anxiety, anger, substance abuse, trauma, emotional dysregulation and different forms of depression. My practice is person-centered, trauma-informed, collaborative, anti-oppressive and strength-based. I am CVAP, ICBC, EAP and FNHA-approved counsellor.
I help clients to optimize strengths, build resilience and cultivate growth. I am committed to providing safe and non-judgmental environment and developing a therapeutic and trusting relationship. I work collaboratively with clients to help facilitate learning and understanding of self, to create positive change despite the circumstances that led to crisis
I bring international experience, a specialization in primary prevention of addiction, trauma informed training (DBT and CBT trained), a social justice lens and expertise with clients of diverse cultural backgrounds to my practice. I have had practices in the US, Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
