I am a warm and engaging Registered Psychologist, who believes in importance of delivering holistic therapy that is rooted in nature based, somatic and trauma-informed approaches. I deeply believe that personal and collective healing is inseparable and necessary to move towards social justice and ‘well-being’- personal and collective. Each of us is a unique being trying to navigate the world that was not build for us and our individual needs. That can feel overwhelming and we encounter blocks and obstacles that stop us from living a fulfilling life. I offer a space where you can explore your longings, desires, goals and blocks, in a presence of an attuned witness. A place to be heard and listened to, where you can cultivate trust and safety. Many of people that come to me- adults, teens and kids- seek support with neurodivergence, trauma, depression or anxiety. My wish is to support you with understanding and tools, so you can become your authentic self. I take neuroaffirming, trauma-informed and person-centred approach when working with you. I offer an integrative and holistic perspective to mental and emotional health and I use EMDR, Schema Therapy, ACT, Compassionate Inquiry and Somatic Therapy to support your needs. I'm passionate about making a positive and lasting change to people's mental health and their lives and I understand how hard it can be in the context of the world that we live in. Whether you are looking for understanding, finding your purpose or simply needing a space to feel validated and connected, I am here to walk with you.
