As a queer, neurodivergent, first-generation settler with lived experience navigating mental health, I know how powerful therapy can be when someone feels truly seen, safe, and supported.

It's okay not to feel okay. If you grew up in a damaging environment, you had to develop ingenious ways of surviving. Enduring your childhood is proof of your strength and resilience. However, you're no longer that child and feel just surviving isn't enough, but the past won't let you move on—your suffering is not your fault. What helped you in the past may now be hindering your growth. It's time to rewrite your narrative. Join me, and together, we will give voice to the parts of you that have been shamed, hidden, and denied. We can't undo the past's grave injustices, but we can take away their power.

In therapy, we uncover how our lived experiences have influenced our sense of self. As we further this understanding, we create space for self-compassion and self-acceptance. Healing isn’t about changing who you are; it’s about honoring your resilience, softening self-judgment, and learning to care for yourself in ways that foster growth and transformation.
My approach is grounded in anti-oppressive, intersectional, and trauma-informed principles. I recognize the ways systemic factors and personal histories intersect to shape our experiences and I strive to create a therapeutic space that is affirming, inclusive, and responsive.

If the client is looking for deeper dives into their relationships with themselves or others I may pull more from family systems or interpersonal, trauma focused frameworks.
I imagine you have read many of these profiles trying to find the right therapist for yourself or someone you care about. This can be an overwhelming experience, however, the relationship between the client and therapist is vital to the therapeutic process. I believe in each client trusting their own gut feeling when choosing the person they feel connected to and are drawn to work with. This is something I will talk about in the first session as we begin. Trusting your gut today is a step towards strengthening the relationship with yourself.
