About Me.
Welcome to HB Therapy! I am a bilingual Registered Social Worker (RSW) and Psychotherapist, specializing in evidence-based Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for short-term treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With a warm, collaborative, and strengths-based approach, I believe in the unique abilities and resilience of each client. My therapeutic style is humanistic and person-centered, aiming to create a safe, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, validated, and empowered in your healing journey.
