Do you find yourself grappling with anxiety, depression, stress, or burnout? Are you longing to feel more confidence and ease in your day-to-day life? Are you looking for guidance and support to navigate a painful life change or relationship disconnect? Imagine a space where understanding and respect guide you towards a more fulfilling life, one where your authentic self takes center stage. With a background in conflict resolution, career enhancement, and intercultural skills training, I bring a holistic perspective to my therapeutic approach. Moreover, I understand the importance of addressing challenges from multiple angles.

At SCS, my goal is to help my clients harmonize their minds, heal their inner selves, and ultimately, transform their lives.

I offer a trauma-informed and strength-based approach. I am a trained Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist and use other empirically-based therapies (CBT, DBT, etc.). Let me empower you to navigate the complexities of your current circumstances, whether it's related to PTSD, ADHD, workplace issues, or relationship dynamics.

I recognize it isn't easy to seek support, so I commend you for considering to take the first courageous step. When you're ready to experience a closer relationship with yourself and others, as well as to manage life stressors with resilience, contact me today to set up a free consultation. It would be my honour to work with you.
