I have been in the mental health field for over five years with a wide range of experience facilitating and partnering with individuals through disability management, crisis & trauma, anxiety, and depression, among other stressors.
I have attained a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, EMDR training and certification through EMDRIA, an undergraduate degree in Education, and a Social Service Worker diploma.
I am committed to creating a therapeutic environment that fosters diverse individual needs and lived experiences.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from symptoms and emotional distress. This treatment helps the client access and process traumatic memories and disturbing life experiences in a way that leads to adaptive resolution.
-
1. Have you experienced trauma? Maybe in your relationships? Work-related situations?
2. Does your trauma continue to impact your daily life and well-being? Do you feel it emotionally and physically? Do you tend to be hypervigilant or very cautious?
3. Would you like to explore the root cause of your emotional distress?
4. Are you open to identifying triggers and working through difficult emotions and memories? -
Like most therapeutic processes, this can vary, and many clients find that 10-20 sessions lead to significant improvements. The goal is to provide you with the tools and support to achieve lasting outcomes rooted in growth and resilience.
