Registered Dietitian
Edmonton Office
SERVICES: Individual, Youth, Group Therapy, Children and Adolescents, Family Counselling.
EXPERIENCE: People who suffer from anxiety, depression, cultural identity loss and PTSD.
BIO: My view of trauma is that it happens inside of our bodies and wires our brains to seek protection instead of connection. This leads me to focus on a holistic, body-based, neuro-physiological approach that supports our nervous systems to slow down, build a sense of connection and safety, and create new brain pathways that help us trust our innate capacity to heal. My counselling goal is to honour the untold stories of our bodies, while listening compassionately to the stories that need to be heard, as I believe we have more than one story that resides within our whole being.
