Mental wellness is a right - sometimes we need an unbiased supporter to help us get back on a healthier pathway. Whether you find yourself stuck due to work or school issues, are having difficulties in your relationship, are recovering from a trauma, dealing with anxiety or simply are looking to change behaviours that are no longer aligned with your goals, know that you don’t have to face this alone. Let me help you .
I am a world citizen; born in Thunder Bay to immigrant parents, lived in Canada, Bermuda, Central America and Asia. I know what it feels like to be considered 'the foreigner' in the country you call home. Are you feeling displaced? Wondering how to fit in? Questioning who you are becoming? Let's start the conversation about getting back to feeling good.
Diversity is Beautiful- we all have our own unique perceptions based on many factors such as our life experiences and the context in which we live. Let me help you define your needs and values. Let me help you find acceptance and appreciation for who you are.
