Description
I’m a passionate social worker/counsellor with 20 years of experience supporting individuals with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, mental health issues, infertility, midlife challenges, grief and self-discovery. As a mindfulness practitioner, I integrate mindfulness with CBT, EFT, EMDR, Gestalt Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Satir Model, Somatic Experiencing and Grief Therapy. I specialize in working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds worldwide including BIPOC and LGBTQ+. I provide a safe, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed space using person-centered, strength-based approaches.
