The path to healing can be intimidating and searching for help may seem overwhelming. I intend to honour and support the strength and vulnerability shown by those seeking support. It’s essential for me to cultivate culturally sensitive spaces that ensure you feel respected and empowered in your journey. I am passionate about working with the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) community, and I am LGBTQIA2S+ affirming. I also employ a collectivist healing approach to support some of my work to create a sense of community and togetherness.
CBT, Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness are all techniques I embrace in my practice. Drawing on these techniques equips me to address your unique needs. I offer a safe, accepting and welcoming space to explore and incorporate your individual cultures and beliefs into your healing.
It’s my goal to offer support and understanding as we identify and work towards your goals, process your experiences, and exercise self-compassion. I look forward to you leaving our sessions feeling empowered and supported.
