“Stress doesn’t cause burnout. Capitalism and white supremacy does” - Jenn Mullan. Are you a member of a marginalized community - BIPOC, LGBTQ+, women, people with mental health issues? Have you been struggling with people pleasing, imposter syndrome, caregiver fatigue, and/or coming to terms with a mental health diagnosis? It is exhausting to exist in a world that was not built for us. You matter, and you deserve to be heard in a safe space that does not blame you for not doing or being enough. With an anti-oppressive and decolonial approach, I support people of marginalized identities to process their grief and honour their rage.
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. This is an opportunity to explore your counselling goals and how I may help. Under usual circumstances, you should receive a personal reply from me in 2 days.
