My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and sensitivity, valuing the cultural origins of each individual. I believe in a holistic and integrative approach to psychotherapy that encompasses all aspects of a person's being. Understanding one's functioning and how to navigate change with serenity is an essential aspect of my approach. By combining neuropsychological and psychological perspectives, I have developed a comprehensive framework that addresses the interconnectedness of mind and brain. In my practice, I am committed to embracing diversity and promoting the dignity of each individual.

Sometimes life is just achingly hard. Despite best efforts, the weight of our burdens can overwhelm us. When we're stuck in the dark, ways to move forward might feel impossible. Therapy is a safe haven to set down your cares, to explore what hurts, what's not working, and what you wish were different. It's space where you're free to wonder, discover personal strengths, and challenge old or unhelpful narratives. My goal is to help you move towards deeper self-understanding, resilience and ease in life.

As a neurodivergent person with ADHD myself, I know some of the difficulties you may face. If you have ADHD and/or are Autistic, you’ve probably spent many years trying to fight your own brain and force yourself to act “normal,” but find this never works in the long run. Or perhaps you have someone in your life who is neurodivergent, and are struggling meet their needs and your own. You may experience painful emotions, difficulty understanding yourself, and frustrating personal relationships. Navigating life can be overwhelming when you're neurodivergent, but I firmly believe there is hope, and I want you to feel hopeful too.

You might be someone who shows up for others but struggles to feel truly seen. Maybe you overthink relationships, second-guess yourself, or feel stuck in patterns like people-pleasing, burnout, or disconnection. You’re self-aware but tired of just coping. My ideal client wants real change — more clarity, self-trust, and honest connection. You might relate to anxious attachment, ADHD, or autism — or you're just starting to explore those parts of yourself. Therapy can help you make sense of it all with compassion.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply needing space to reconnect with yourself? Life can feel especially heavy during transitions—whether it’s the end of a school year, a change in relationship dynamics, or just the quiet realization that something needs to shift. My clients include individuals exploring their identity, young adults navigating pressure and uncertainty, teens working through emotional ups and downs, and couples trying to better understand and support each other. Many come in looking for clarity, emotional safety, and a place to pause and reset. I’m here to offer that—without judgment, and at your pace.

Hi all, welcome to my profile! As a Black woman who grew up in a low income family I'm incredibly passionate about ensuring marginalized populations are provided with inclusive and accessible mental health support. What makes me feel fulfilled is dismantling the barriers individuals experience that prevent them from accessing services. As a result, I use a sliding scale to reduce financial barriers and offer virtual morning, evening, weekend sessions to make counselling easier to fit into your schedule. I feel honoured to support you through your most difficult emotions and I will walk through them with you to brighter days.
