Are intense reactions making it harder to develop and maintain relationships? Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, numbness, flashbacks, or compulsive behaviours that take over? Are you feeling stuck and unable to find your place in life?
I have been there; you do not have to do it alone.
My passion is journeying with women, gender-diverse adults, and immigrants who have experienced relational & occupational trauma, leading to addictions, overeating, overworking, perfectionism, compulsions, and feelings of sadness, depression, anxiety, or anger.
As a Certified EMDR, IFS Level-1 Trained, IFS-Informed EMDR (Steps 2 & 3), and Trauma-Focused ACT therapist, I will help you live your best life with what you bring. I draw insights from my lived experiences as an immigrant and survivor/thriver of life and integrate inner knowing, compassion, and neuroscience to create spaces for relief, healing, and transformation.
I have a unique education in Counselling Psychology and Art Therapy and have received intensive training in varied modalities. I primarily utilize IFS, EMDR, ACT, Gottman Couples Therapy and art therapy if and when suitable. I also bring with me 25+ years of psyche-related experiences, from assessment/training, school/community-based, outpatient/psychiatric, and family counselling to private practice.
I offer an Affirming and Culturally Responsive approach and utilize therapeutic, neurological and empirical-based interventions that can help you THRIVE and fully be SEEN.
What to expect?
I will wholeheartedly listen to and understand your story. We can create a plan based on your desires, dreams, and goals. I will take your lead; you are in control. We will work through your struggle and pain. We will find a path toward hope, connection, and growth that is safe and confidential.
If this feels right, you can contact me for a free consultation and take the first step towards a NEW life!
