Feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges and unsure where to turn? I know how isolating it can be to confront struggles that seem insurmountable. As a black first-generation immigrant in an interracial marriage, I’ve faced the challenges of blending diverse cultures while navigating personal and relational difficulties. I understand the weight of cultural expectations, the confusion of trying to fit in, and the emotional toll of carrying unresolved trauma. If you’re grappling with past experiences that haunt your present, or if anxiety and depression have left you feeling trapped in a cycle of despair, I’m here to offer a lifeline.

Accepting new clients! Welcome, I'm Shaun and I work with my clients to understand their inner experience by creating a curious and non-judgmental environment that celebrates identity and addresses personal and collective needs. I may be a good fit if you are queer (or questioning), neurodiverse (or questioning, ADHD, autism, dyslexia), an athlete (or high-performer), or have members of your family who have these identities.

Charles Dickens once remarked that “a wonderful fact to reflect upon is that every human is a profound secret and mystery to every other." Despite how unique we all are, we often tend to spend much of our lives suffering, searching for happiness in places we struggle to ever find. Our wounds are the gateways to the most sacred parts of us and when we are open to new possibilities, we find what we had hoped for. It would be my honour to help make those possibilities your present realities.

Through my experience as a clinician I have gained a deep appreciation for the complexity of the human psyche. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that fosters genuine exploration and healing. Drawing from psychodynamic principles, I believe that our past experiences, relationships, and unconscious motivations shape our present selves. In our work together, I aim to help you understand how your specific life history influences your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. I integrate evidence-based approaches with a relational focus, recognizing that the therapeutic alliance itself can be a powerful catalyst for change.

Something feels off – you’re not feeling “good.” Anxious, lonely, confused, numb, sad. Maybe you can’t figure out why or maybe it’s a memory, feeling, or moment that you can’t shake. Finding the words to describe what’s happening is hard because you don’t fully understand it yourself. But you don't have to stay stuck! Through reflection and processing our past experiences, you can begin to heal, grow, and consciously choose a different path. Building awareness can help you break free from unhealthy cycles, allowing you to nuture healthier relationships, pursue your goals more intentionally, and show up as your happy authentic self.
