As a queer woman of colour you may struggle with finding a balance to live with societal norms while wanting to live authentic to your choices and values. You may often feel like you are the one that doesn't fit in with groups because you challenge the status quo of what's normal and often tell yourself you know you "should" do something but find yourself at a stand still not knowing why you can't move forward but understand why you need to change things.

Thank you for being here. It means a lot to pause, turn inward, and listen to the quiet voice that says… maybe now is the time. I hold space for adults, parents, and youth navigating tender transitions, whether you’re adjusting to a new culture, healing after loss, exploring identity, managing stress, or reconnecting with self-worth. My experience includes working with newcomers, emerging adults, parents, caregivers, and those facing anxiety, grief, or emotional overwhelm. Whether you’re seeking clarity or simply a place to exhale, there’s room here for your story, your strengths, and the hope that something else is possible.

Are you struggling with a life transition or finding purpose and meaning in your life? Are you currently feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or stuck in depression? Are you interested in exploring thoughts or feelings that you’ve been curious to better understand? My approach begins with an assessment of what has made your life experience unique. Understanding how we connect with others and how our lived experiences have shaped us can help connect many dots. Our focus will then turn to the present, looking at your relationship with mindfulness and your surrounding world.

I care about working with each and every client to recognize their unique strengths and struggles, and figure out together what works for them, (even if it means getting creative!)
I believe in steering away from seeing pain as pathology, and instead, being with you in the human experiences that make you who you are, and recognizing the strengths that you already possess. Fundamentally, I understand and work with how trauma impacts the body, and recognize the wisdom of the body in therapy.

You are a naturally curious free spirit, yet you feel confined by societal, cultural, or familial expectations that prevent you from being your true self. It’s as if you’re stuck in a box, longing to break free but unsure how. You seek to impact the world positively by giving love, kindness, and understanding, yet you also crave to receive what you offer. Conflicting advice on how to live leaves you confused, and you're ready to break through these barriers to live authentically.

You may be feeling disconnected from your partner, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to repair trust after hurt or emotional distance. You might be navigating a major relationship transition such as commitment decisions, premarital preparation, separation, or rebuilding after betrayal. You may notice the same patterns repeating and want help understanding what is happening beneath the surface. Ultimately, you want more emotional closeness, clearer communication, and a relationship that feels secure, respectful, and supportive rather than exhausting, tense, or confusing.

This work is about helping you connect to your SELF, so you can navigate relationships authentically and meet challenges with compassion and courage. If you want to slow down, get curious, and listen deeply, let's connect!
Our internal body wisdom is a source of information that speaks more than words. The patterns we hold and express reveal meaning and share a legacy of past experiences, often persisting long after they are needed.
Real change is possible when ALL of you feels safe enough to be seen and supported, just as you are. In the relational space we build together, you will discover what you need to move forward.

Relationships issues, life transitions, and grief, are topics especially close to my heart. Together, we can clarify your values and what you're looking for in a partner, address communication barriers and re-establish connection in your relationships, use insight and compassion to disrupt patterns that may no longer be serving you, or help you come to terms with a devastating heartbreak. We can access your strengths to help you embark on exciting new life chapters that might feel overwhelming at first, such as starting college/university, a new career, getting married, entering parenthood, adjusting to retirement or an empty nest.

You may feel deeply, overthink often, and struggle with low self-esteem, people-pleasing, or burnout. Many of my clients are neurodivergent, queer, or bicultural, and grew up with emotionally immature or unavailable parents. You may feel isolated, misunderstood, or stuck in repeating relationship patterns. You want relief from trauma’s weight, a better relationship with yourself, clearer boundaries, and a sense of belonging without needing to mask or explain who you are.

You look fine on the outside, but inside your nervous system is always on edge. Your mind races, your body stays tense, sleep is hard, and you’re constantly scanning for what could go wrong. You’re tired of managing anxiety and want real relief. You want to feel safe in your body, trust yourself again, and move through life without fear quietly running the show.

You may be here because something in your life has fallen apart—or because you’re carrying more than you can manage on your own. A relationship may have shifted, anxiety may have taken over, or you may feel defeated, alone, or unsure how to move forward.
When something painful happens, it can bring long-held beliefs to the surface—about who you are, what you can expect from others, or how safe the world feels. Becoming aware of these patterns can open the door to greater clarity and self-understanding. In working with me, I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore these patterns and support meaningful healing and change.

Therapy could be the key to open your compassionate process of accepting yourself and expanding your mental and heartfelt capacities. Moving at your pace and preference, we explore and identify your emotional, mental and relationship patterns that may seem bewildering or intense now, but with an open and patient perspective, I give you the space to validate, reframe and shift those patterns that no longer serve you. Ultimately, your willingness to meet any challenge or aspiration is a profound act of self-reflection rooted in courage that ripples out into how you live, relate and create in the world.

I am a psychotherapist who combines art therapy and talk therapy with body awareness.
