We are living in extremely challenging times - witnessing the rise of fascism, genocides, war, displacement, and climate change. For BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, women, people with mental health issues, and others of marginalized identities, it is exhausting to exist in this colonial & capitalist world. These systems were not built for us. They constantly extract from us and undermine our worth. It is important to know that you matter and deserve to be heard in a space that does not blame you for not doing or being enough. I support people of marginalized identities & allies to process their grief, honour their rage, and heal their wounds.
Bringing my humanity to my work, I refuse to be a blank slate. I seek to undo the harm that the mental health system continues to cause, holding systems of oppression accountable. With curiosity, I give room to breathe, feel, and reflect. With encouragement and hope, I help people to resource their resiliency, regain their power, and realize their potential.
If you are seeking healing, validation, growth, change, empowerment, clarity, or a new perspective, please visit my website and connect. To see if we will be a good fit, ask for a FREE consultation.
