Brainspotting uses eye movement to process and overcome negative emotions, trauma (including complex) and pain. It has been found to be effective for high performance anxiety, work/life struggles, grief and sleep challenges. I've been a Social Worker for over 20 years now and this is by far, my go-to modality in sessions!

A little bit more about me: I identify as Indo-Caribbean Canadian, whose parents immigrated from Guyana in the 1960s. I was raised Catholic and still practice today. I'm also a Shaman (someone who works with all of the Divine's spirits and energies) and use my intuition a LOT. If you've ever had a curiosity in energetic and esoteric practices, like Tarot, Clairvoyance, Psychic Divination, Human Design, let me know and I am pretty happy to weave all of my gifts, abilities, expertise and experience into your Session as an add-on. I'm a single momma - and a proud one to whom I view to be a wonderful little girl who has truly been my greatest gift. I have processed a lot of complex trauma, grief, stress and more; while healing is often the destination, I view it as a journey and something we do every single day. My goal was not ever to change lives but to teach and empower others to change their own lives - so I'm really glad to be doing this work!

All sessions are confidential except for situations where I am legally required to report: for the prevention of imminent harm, for court order/mandated reporting laws and in those situations, I always aim to disclose only the minimum necessary for those situations. I do discuss cases in my Clinical Supervision (an expectation in my industry), but I do no reveal identifying information and the goal with the discussions is to improve my skills, ensure my mental well-being within my caseload and grow as a human being.

Upon booking, you will receive a video link for the Virtual Session. I use a Notetaker as an accountability measure and so that my focus remains on you and your session experience. After reviewing the notes, I set intentions for how I want to improve my practice and serve clients and then I delete them permanently since they are not my case notes.

Go head and schedule your session and I will see you there.

During this free consultation, we will discuss your vision, current challenges, and I will provide a brief overview of how services can be tailored for your organization.

Please come to the meeting with a budget in mind so that I can support you in identifying the high priority areas to focus on. Note that organizations often have specific goals in mind which is a great starting point; my role as a Consultant and RSW/Psychotherapist is to make objective recommendations to address the root cause of a challenge/issue/incident that may also support the presenting issue being discussed.

Please show up with an open mind and an organizational commitment to partner with The Diversity Factor (Life Designer Consulting, Inc.) for a holistic solution for your company.
