I am a Registered Social Worker and EMDR trained therapist. My area of focus practice includes Trauma & C-PTSD as well as, (but not limited to), the following topic areas: Adverse Childhood Experiences, Intimate Partner Violence, Religious Trauma, Racialized Trauma, Shock Trauma, and Medical Trauma.Whether you find yourself suffering from a single or multiple adverse experiences, I am committed to supporting you along your path to healing. I strive to make the individuals I support feel accepted and cared for as we walk along their path to healing, together.

My primary therapeutic modality includes the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), which you can expect to be the foundation of our therapeutic work together. I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Social Work; specializing in Clinical Therapeutic Practice. I am a Registered Social Worker with the BCCSW.

Through my firsthand experiences of being in the mountains, while on my own path of healing, I needed a mindset check; I needed to dig deeper for ‘self compassion’, in order to make it to the summit. I like to think of trauma work as a metaphor to climbing that summit. Connect with me for a 15 minute consultation, to see if I can be of support on your path.
