Career /Mental Health/Hypnotherapy ..... As a culturally competent counsellor, I have an understanding of the cultural nuances that influence the Black/BIPOC community in the GTA.

You deserve to live a life that makes you feel empowered! However, often in life, there are times we get stuck and don’t know how to move forwards, how to cope with situations and in what direction to take one’s story. Not knowing what to do and how to do it can often make a person feel powerless, which can further lead to anxiety, depression, resentment, and isolation, hindering you from living a full life. I offer you a chance to take back control of the story of your life and write the narrative you want to write.

Do you feel stuck in life? Are you exhausted by intrusive thoughts that just don’t seem to stop no matter how hard you try? Are you someone who suffers from anxiety, sadness and self-esteem issues?

***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS IN VAUGHAN/SAUGA AND PHONE/VIDEO*** In life, we take many paths. Some paths are smooth and effortless, while others can be rough and challenging. Sometimes, on a particularly difficult path, we can lose sight of our goals, loved ones, and the connection to our inner selves. On the surface, it may feel like we do not have the strength to get through these hardships. But I believe that we can find it within ourselves to forge new pathways towards happiness. Therapy is empowering! By working through emotions, thoughts, and feelings, you can grow into the person you want to be, and achieve your full potential.

Hi! I am here to support you with challenges surrounding anxiety, depression, self-esteem, academic/workplace stress, relationship conflict, and grief. I take a deep interest in supporting young adults and adults through stressful life transitions (academic, relationships, career ) and enjoy collaborating with individuals that are experiencing challenges related to perfectionism, stress management, grief, anxiety, and depression. I support individuals in gaining internal confidence and developing coping skills for daily stressors while enhancing relationships with themselves and others.

Are you struggling with a transition in your life, such as becoming a parent, graduating school or starting a new job ? Do you feel stuck and struggle to cope? You are not alone, I am here to help.

People-pleaser, perfectionist, caretaker, rescuer, fixer… We all have defenses that help us move through life. There comes a time, however, when one or more of our defenses doesn’t work for us any longer. This is when therapy can help. Perhaps you are going through or considering a major life transition (relationship, career , lifestyle) but old defenses, beliefs and patterns are getting in the way. You want to trust your choices, but don’t know if you can. All you know is that it’s not possible to go forward the same way. Something needs to change.
