Training & Workshops
Now providing virtual sessions all over Ontario
My trauma-informed training and workshops bring over a decade’s worth of experience into every session. Since 2011, I have been running workshops for organizations nationally and internationally.
My training is focused on helping groups and organizations build capacity, skills, knowledge, and confidence in order to cope with change more effectively. With expertise in refugee mental health, cultural humility, sexuality, sex therapy, gender identity, and trauma, my workshops help to bring strength from vulnerabilities.
Why choose Mego?
I am a Psychotherapist based in Ottawa, registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I am also a Certified Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I also bring my personal experiences and insight into every session, helping to make a difference in how information is presented.
All of my therapeutic work and workshops integrate a social justice lens. Through this lens, my goal is to provide a safe, nurturing space to help participants deal with trauma across every spectrum.
My training approach
Besides being an experiential therapist, I am also an experiential trainer.
Workshops are collaborative and interactive. During each session, I pay close attention to attendee experiences as I reflect and present information, whether those experiences are emotional, physical or reflective. These experiences are gently and safely highlighted, allowing enhanced learning in every session.
