Registered Social Worker at Psychotherapy For You

My therapy focuses include anxiety/ stress/ burnout, developmental and intergenerational trauma and family/relationship dynamics. I have a particular passion for supporting individuals who want to explore the impacts that their childhood experiences may have on their present day lives.

I work with individuals who are looking to overcome their trauma by learning healthier coping skills and more helpful resources, and who want to do deeper processing work to resolve and release trauma in order to let go of the past and move forward in life. I offer both support and solutions, using a client-centered approach utilizing DBT, ACT, EMDR, Somatic Therapy and other modalities.

With a specialization in Trauma Informed Care, I have years of experience supporting individuals to navigate their experiences. Using modalities such as EMDR, IFS, somatic based interventions and psychedelic assisted therapy, these approaches will help to you better understand whatever experiences you may be facing and develop strategies to move forward in a way that works best for you.
