I take a holistic approach to a person’s life, recognizing the impact and continued effects of colonization and systemic racism on racialized bodies. Marginalized communities experience higher rates of loss. Understanding that people experience micro-aggressions, discrimination and racism (overt and covert) socio-political injustices. People may come to me for multiple reasons: Identity development. Economic and health inequities. Over-policing, violence and incarceration, detentions and deportations. Interracial relationships. Workplace stress.
Specializing in direct work with individuals around themes of Grief, Trauma (inter-generational trauma), Loss; Abuse & Violence; Healthy Relationships (Relationship Counselling for non-monogamous, Poly); Gender Identity, Sexual Issues; Mental Health and Addictions (Harm Reduction Approach); Career and Employment Counselling (resumes)
Seeking harmony in your life? I'm here to help you find that balance. You are unique. Your healing will be the same. What is your self-care rainbow? I am client-centred. I go where you want to go. I can sit in discomfort with you. I can sit in joy with you. I can sit in nervousness with you. This therapy space is a non-judgmental place.
