My area of expertise is Somatic Therapy, Compassionate Inquiry, Internal Family Systems and mindfulness based practices for trauma focused care and Attachment-Trauma work.
Online sessions only. CLOSED: May 19, 2025. To book an initial session, or a 15-minute consultation session, please visit the website. The way we experience the world around us and our inner world profoundly influences our overall psychological health and well-being. The goal of therapy is to explore this and develop a healthy sense of self, that is, the development of a human being who knows what they believe, what they feel, what they want, and become someone who can hold that understanding in the face of social pressure and social expectation; to help the individual respond from a more balanced perspective day-to-day.

We are human beings, but when caught up in our busy lives, we sometimes turn into human doings. It can be challenging to be present when your schedules are full or you get swept off by external and internal forces. I have the honour to work with individuals and families challenged by anxiety, depression, experiences of oppression and marginalization. I support folks who may be misunderstood or troubled by negative thoughts. Everyone has the power to heal from within, and healing may look different for each individual. I am grateful to accompany you on this healing journey. We all have the right to thrive.

If you want to speak to someone who won't judge, really listens, and can help you find your best self, I would love to hear from you. The first priority is finding a therapist you feel safe with. We begin by exploring the issues and understanding the challenges, but the real work is learning to be gentle with ourselves as we acknowledge the need for a shift and begin to implement new practices. If you have had a traumatic experience, try to seek support within 3 months to prevent PTSD and other issues from developing. EMDR can help immensely to decrease distress. There are no distance issues online. Clients from anywhere welcome.

You're here looking for a therapist for a reason - email me and we'll chat, I'd love to know more about what that reason is.
I help people slow down and connect the dots between their conscious and unconscious minds; to do the inner work needed to cope with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and more. Our inner life, thoughts & feelings are so often neglected in our fast paced world; therapy is the perfect place to tend to those parts of us and make sense of things.

Welcome to therapy! Pat yourself on the back for taking a courageous step towards a better you! Therapy is a time and space for you to share your stories and to freely explore your feelings, emotional reactions, thoughts, and behaviors without judgment. It is also an opportunity for you to receive empathetic support and guidance on how to address challenging issues in life. While I believe we are the experts on ourselves, sometimes we need guidance, reflection, and insights from others to propel us, especially when we feel stuck.

Every individual comes from a different background, facing highs and lows that are influenced by different life experiences. At an early age, I was able to see the importance of mental health and how vital it is to advocate for those that are struggling by extending my hand in help. It has always been an interest of mine working with individuals of multiple cultural backgrounds to ensure that any help they receive caters to their cultural limits. I have a high interest in working with individuals who have experienced or are currently experiencing trauma, relationship issues, familial issues, anxiety, depression, and new life changes

The process of healing can look different from one person to the next, so it is paramount to understand the individuality of each client through their stories, goals and expectations. Which means, tailoring sessions based on your unique needs. I work towards creating room for healing and self-discovery by providing a sacred and safe space for each of my clients. With a vast knowledge of multiple therapeutic modalities, together, we can discover which treatments would work best for your healing journey. In addition to having three and a half years of co-facilitating GriefShare, I am also a life-long learner across various modalities.
