About
I am a registered Psychotherapist and Social Worker, and founder/clinical director of Clinic Altera. I subscribe to the idea that suffering is a natural part of the human experience; we suffer and experience discomfort so we can cope and grow. It is possible, however, that we can exceed our threshold of suffering, and our normal coping mechanisms are no longer sufficient. This is when our discomfort begins to feel like pain, anxiety, and depressive thoughts and is no longer beneficial to our growth. I like to think of my role as the collaborator and support system for times like these.
I have a Master's in Clinical Social Work from the University of Central Florida. In addition, I have training in Somatic therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Leadership coaching, and Mindfulness practice. I have spent time working at some of the most notable universities in North America, including McGill, Harvard, and MIT.
My work is empowering, emotionally focused, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I worked for years with individuals who have experienced acute trauma, such as sexual violence and victims of crime, as well as complex PTSD. I am LGBTQ+, sex, kink, non-monogamy and polyamorous friendly. I am a licensed member of OTSTCFQ: HANA18/02/220 OPQ: 61862-19.
