'I’m here to help you explore the depths of your being and embrace your most authentic self.'
Do you feel like the brightness of life has faded under the shadow of trauma? Maybe anxiety shows up as racing thoughts or constant worry. Maybe depression has taken away motivation, joy, or connection. Maybe dissociation leaves you feeling disconnected, “numb,” or far away from the world. Do you ever wonder if things could be different? If it’s possible to feel safe, whole, and connected again? Sometimes it can be hard to see a path forward, but you’re not alone. Many people who have experienced trauma are also navigating these challenges.
I believe that healing is possible, and that no one should have to carry these struggles alone. I use a culturally sensitive, compassion-focused, trauma-informed approach to work through the cognitive and behavioural aspects of trauma. Alongside this, I implement practices such as mindfulness, yoga therapy, and spiritual inquiry to address the somatic impact of trauma and support reconnection with the self.
In therapy, my first priority is creating a safe and supportive environment where trust can grow. From there, we’ll work together to build coping skills for the present moment while also exploring the deeper wounds of trauma in ways that feel gentle and respectful. Once we stabilize, process, and reconnect, therapy can also become a space for growth where we focus on building resilience, discovering new insights, and moving toward what I call self-transcendence: living authentically as your highest self.
Supporting individuals through their most difficult moments is my passion. I am committed to guiding them out of the shadow of trauma and back toward the light of their truest selves, their resilience, and their hope for the future. Book a free 20-minute consultation today, and let’s find the light together.
