I am a relational psychotherapist and trauma practitioner. I completed my Psychotherapy training at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto, 3-year Somatic Experiencing training for trauma resolution (Montreal), and I hold a MA in Women's and Gender Studies (Carleton University, Ottawa). I have worked deeply with people struggling with a range of emotions/experiences including grief, self-harm, suicidal ideation, anger, childhood abuse and psychosocial trauma (including war), post-immigration experiences, relationship difficulties and self-actualization challenges.

I work from a humanistic, embodied and evidence-based framework and have additional training in CBT therapy and peer-based crisis response/suicide care strategies. As a trainer and crisis worker, I have a rich experience providing front line support to people in crisis on local Toronto Distress Centre line, as well National Canada Suicide Prevention Line.

I work in a gentle, honest, intuitive, and creative way. I will support you to become curious about yourself and explore - with a lot of compassion - parts of your journey/psyche that have felt shamed, scared, abused, or silenced, so you can feel clarity and relief. My practice is trans, queer, fat and sex worker affirming.

I specialize in supporting folks who experienced childhood trauma. I am process oriented therapist which simply means that I won't offer you quick fixes or generic advice but that, instead, I will listen to you deeply, get to know you and help you discover answers for yourself.
