Healing Minds, Restoring Hope, & Strengthening Faith....
We all struggle in life and I want you to know you're not alone. Reaching out for support is a powerful step toward healing. Life can present many challenges that impact our relationships, work, sense of self, and overall quality of life. Reaching out for support can feel daunting as we face these mountains in life. However, according to a very interesting study, when we face these mountains with another person, the mountain is literally less steep (Coan & Sbarra, 2015). As relational beings, we are hard-wired for connection and we heal through safe relationships.
About
We Heal Through Safe Relationships....
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) is my foundational therapeutic lens. It integrates social neuroscience, compassion science, attachment theory, developmental psychology, and cognitive psychology and can be described as a ‘NeuroPsychoPhysioTherapy’. CFT aligns with faith-based beliefs and offers a comprehensive framework for understanding relational patterns and managing challenging emotions. Through this lens, I provide tailored trauma interventions such as EMDR, IFS, and Somatic Processing.Primary Training:• MA Counselling Psychology, Yorkville University, New Brunswick
