Hi! My name is MD.
I work with folks who feel stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by old patterns, trauma, grief, anxiety, or stress. I'll help you navigate these challenges and identity struggles by weaving together mind and body in therapy. Healing isn’t just something we think about, it’s something we feel, embody, and move through together. As a somatic and relational therapist, I believe that connection is a powerful part of the work. My specialty lies in helping people reconnect with their bodies wisdom, to find healing that goes beyond talk alone and to find a sense of presence and steadiness.

I am committed to building a relationship that supports your unique needs, develops your strengths and fosters your innate ability to heal. Often, we aren’t afforded the time, opportunity or privilege to learn the most beneficial ways to sift through what comes our way. We tackle things as best we can using strategies learned from previous experiences. In some situations, our default strategies end up taking us further away from what we want. This can prevent us from fulfilling our needs - we may get stuck not knowing how to cope or how to move forward. I primarily use non talk-therapy modules of Structural Dissociation, EMDR, DBR.

I'm not the type of therapist to just silently listen without offering constructive feedback. As a queer Trini-Canadian psychotherapist, I combine my training in psychology with my political values and lived experience when supporting my clients. I specialize in working with LGBTQ and BIPOC (racialized) clients as well as neurodivergent folks.
In addition to expertise in intersectional identities and culturally-sensitive therapy, I'm also well-versed in issues related to body image, trans & queer health, as well as non-monogamy, kink, and alternate relationship structures.

From the time you walk into my office, we will do a complete assessment together, discuss your concerns/needs and plan goals accordingly. I am a client-centered therapist and let my clients lead the session because I believe that a client is the leader of their life and they are allowing me to walk with them on the journey of self-discovery. I check-in with my clients from time to time to know if they are reaching their goals with each session.

I offer deeply compassionate client-centered services for adolescents and adults. I am trained in the evidence-based models of Psychodynamic, ACT, CBT, and Narrative therapy as well as the Creative Arts Therapies, with an expertise in Drama Therapy (Role theory, Psychodrama, Improv, etc.). I interweave these modalities to best suit my client’s needs. My therapy approach goes beyond talk therapy, to also be embodied, creatively expressive, and somatically based. In this way emotions, memories, and presenting issues are explored and processed not only with words but with movement, metaphors, play, and body relaxation techniques.

I have experience working with both neurotypical and neurodiverse individuals supporting them with a variety of issues including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, adjustment disorders and high risk behaviours.

You want to restore balance emotionally, psychologically and within your relationships. You often feel stuck in old patterns, habits and reactions and have difficulty knowing why they keep showing up and what to do about it. Parts of you are seeking deeper understanding and want to make changes and other parts of you are afraid and confused. You struggle to connect to emotional pain but you know that there are places inside that need your attention and care. By consciously exploring your unique lived experience, through compassion and curiosity, you create the conditions to heal and transform emotional and psychological pain.

A long road led us here along with past experience, inner torment, discoveries, joys and scars from previous relationships. Perhaps a crisis brought you here - when the old has already died and the new has not yet been born. We will go on a journey together and, instead of a map and a compass, we will create clear contract that tells where we want to go and how our adventure will end.

I often meet people who notice they are repeating relationship patterns and behaviours, and they aren't sure why. Sometimes, you may remember how these strategies were protective and kept you safe in the past, or you may not. I support the people I work with to sense, with compassion, how powerful and ingenious these strategies are. Sometimes when we meet, you've come to a place of knowing that these same protective strategies aren't as effective as they used to be, and you're wondering why or are looking to change. We come to decide in therapy what to hold tight to and what to set aside for now.
