ABOUT

With over 10 years of experience, supporting individuals, couples/partnerships and groups of diverse folks, I offer a trained ear and heart. Folks come to me with broad range of concerns from stress, anxiety, depression, obsession or compulsions (e.g. OCD), emotional processing, behavioural addictions, challenges of attention or concentration (e.g. ADHD), cultural exclusion and oppression, severe adverse experiences in early years like abuse and neglect (e.g. CPTSD), sexual and gender challenges, grief or loss, newcomer or displacement, and life transitions. Then we get explore the causes to get to healing and growth in the person and their communities. I mainly integrate from Internal Family Systems (Level 1) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Level 1). I have over 10 years of experience in supporting people of majority and minority into living a more compassionate live together. I am trained in CBT, EFT, mindfulness-based strategies and cyber-counselling.

Knowing the experience being on the struggle bus, I have lived experience with overcoming challenges. Often sitting and talking can be good, but I offer more to those clients seeking to change through discovering their inner world, being playful and experience levity, and return to a balance of your true self emerge in this chaotic world.
