I provide online psychotherapy and clinical supervision services with flexible scheduling to meet your needs. As a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, I specialize in supporting individuals affected by trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational challenges. In our work together, we’ll create a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore your experiences, build resilience, and help you reclaim your life.
Whether you’re navigating physical trauma leading to PTSD, emotional, mental, or generational trauma, I can assist in understanding the emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and spiritual impacts of these experiences. I believe that there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to process grief and trauma, and I’m here to help you make difficult decisions and establish meaningful self-care practices.
My approach is compassionate, respectful, and culturally sensitive, prioritizing your sense of safety as we work together. I understand the role of cultural and faith-based values in shaping your experiences, and I’m committed to providing trauma-informed support that honors your unique journey.

Approach Description: Our approach at ICA Counselling & Supervision is rooted in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive framework, with a strong commitment to supporting individuals affected by complex PTSD (CPTSD) and trauma.

As a certified practitioner in CBT for Trauma and DBT, with additional trauma-focused training, we draw on evidence-based practices to help clients build resilience, navigate complex emotions, and develop effective coping strategies. Our work acknowledges the intersection of personal and systemic challenges, incorporating a culturally sensitive and client-centered approach that honors each individual's unique journey. We believe in fostering self-compassion, autonomy, and healing, guiding clients through a holistic exploration of their trauma’s impact and helping them reclaim a sense of agency and well-being.
