Healing, to me, is a gentle return to the self, not a demand to become someone different. I work with clients experiencing trauma, burnout, discrimination, anxiety, depression, challenges with self-regulation, relationship struggles, people-pleasing, grief, and the complexities of caregiving. I offer a grounded and compassionate space to lay down what feels heavy, to gently untangle patterns, thoughts, and learned behaviors, and to understand yourself with greater clarity and tenderness. Together, we build skills, soften shame, and honour the wisdom that has carried you this far.
I work from a decolonial, trauma-informed perspective, integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy modalities, with attention to how systemic forces shape identity and lived experience. I bring a somatic and emotional approach as a vehicle for connecting mind and body to unmet needs.
It will be an honor if we get to work together, to hold space for your story and support you in reconnecting with the wisdom you already carry.

Trauma work is about reclaiming your story with patience and compassion. When the nervous system has learned to survive, it can keep reacting long after danger has passed; sometimes our responses are memories wearing today's clothes. Healing happens slowly, as the body learns again that safety, trust, and softness are possible.
