Lana has experience working with children, adults, couples and families. Lana is originally from Jordan and understands what it is like to immigrate to a new country. She uses a trauma-informed approach to help guide clients to feel grounded and lead them toward wholeness. She loves using humour in her sessions and enjoys working with refugees, immigrants and indigenous people.

Lana looks forward to starting your healing journey while holding a secure space where you feel heard and validated. You can work together to explore the challenges and the strengths, using different tools to rediscover the new you.
As Lana has quoted, "outside of the office, she enjoys climbing mountains and surfing...NOOO waay just kidding, after work and kids I have enough energy to watch Netflix and relax, or read a nice psychology book, and spend quality time with friends.
Lana's specialties include working with children (10+), youth, individuals, couples, and families.
