About me:
I am passionate about creating an empathetic and safe space for you to explore and process your journey. Prior to becoming a Registered Psychologist, I worked in human services, specialized program settings, and non-profits.
How I support you:
I am trained in a variety of trauma informed approaches, and work with you to create a specialized plan based on your needs. By building on your own strengths, we may develop new insights and skills along the way. At this time, I provide services to adults (18+). I have worked with clients on a variety of areas including but not limited to anxiety, emotional regulation, trauma, anger, chronic pain, complicated grief & loss, parenting, life transitions, and communication challenges.
I have completed extensive training in a variety of evidence based approaches. These approaches include but are not limited to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Grief Recovery Method (GRM)®, HeartMath, and I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). I also draw skills and strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)*. By using these approaches we may increase the mind-body connection and have more access to self regulation and self compassion.
My professional interests center around attachment-based practices, and being trauma informed. I routinely partake in trainings and workshops to stay up to date on new practices and research.
