Helping you uncover the roadmap of your life.
 

Hello and welcome.

I hold the roles of therapist, wife, mother, sister, and daughter. Above all else, I am a human being. I believe that we can all benefit from learning how to hold space, forgive, and love ourselves. I moved to Canada with my family from Slovakia when I was young and am a first generation Canadian. I have always been passionate about helping others and supporting them along their healing journey.

I am a BC-based trauma therapist who works with both individuals and couples. I have worked in the healthcare industry for over 10 years in combined community mental health, mental health organizations, family practice support, and private practice. I believe that everyone is capable of making a change in their life, on their own time, and at their own pace.

As someone who has experienced mental health challenges myself, I understand how important it is to have a warm and welcoming approach to therapy. Having this safe place to explore is key in learning to effectively cope, adapt, and change.

 

My Core Values

 

 Therapeutic Approach

I believe that there is no “one size fits all” approach to therapy because each individual is different and requires a tailored approach to their healing journey. I take the time to truly listen and understand my clients, learn about their experiences, emotions, and needs. I will not push any framework onto you, and instead strive to create a safe and supportive environment where my clients feel heard, validated, and empowered.

Drawing from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, I work collaboratively with each person to co-create a customized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and goals. Below are a few modalities I use with my clients in therapy.
