I am a Registered Clinical Social Worker with a Masters in Social Work, a Certified Trauma Therapist, and a Trauma Informed Yoga instructor with over a decade of experience. I offer individual therapy sessions in English and Spanish using evidence based approaches tailored to your needs and goals. My intention is to provide a space to support you in your journey to wellness and to reconnect with your potential to Heal Within. My work is built upon respect within a trauma informed and social justice orientation. I offer virtual, and in person sessions to individuals 16+ and I provide Social Work clinical supervision.

I believe that the single most important aspect of the counselling process is the development of a safe, respectful working relationship between the therapist and client. It takes a lot of courage for people to walk through the counselling door. I want to ensure that clients get a very good sense of who I am and how I work so that the client leaves after the first session knowing they have been heard and understood - and feel positive about our ability to work together.

I believe that all people have a natural affinity toward growth and healing. As a psychologist it is my role to provide a safe, non-judgemental and compassionate space to explore concerns as they arise. I honour the strengths and abilities that each person brings to therapy and use these as important and valuable resources to move toward wellness. Equality and understanding problems within the context in which they occur are also important tenants of my work. Through connection and collaboration, I work together with clients to find the right solutions for them.

We all feel lost from time to time. Part of us wants to move forward and part of us wants to stay the same. We wrestle within ourselves and we emotionally wrestle with those we are closest to. It can be overwhelming and exhausting. We are a product of our past; good, bad, or otherwise. You know that there is so much more to you than the battles that you are facing. There is freedom in getting to know why you respond the way that you do, and there is a way to change the way you respond.
