Online Counselling for Southwest Calgary - Calgary

The path to healing can be intimidating and searching for help may seem overwhelming. I intend to honour and support the strength and vulnerability shown by those seeking support. It’s essential for me to cultivate culturally sensitive spaces that ensure you feel respected and empowered in your journey. I am passionate about working with the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) community, and I am LGBTQIA2S+ affirming. I also employ a collectivist healing approach to support some of my work to create a sense of community and togetherness.

My ideal client is seeking a therapist who understands their unique experiences. They may face challenges related to racial and cultural identity, systemic racism, trauma, mental health, relationships, or personal growth. They need a safe, inclusive, and approachable space to freely express themselves and explore their concerns. Their goals include gaining self-understanding, developing coping strategies, improving mental well-being, and building resilience. They want to be heard, validated, and understood, with therapy focused on collaboration, cultural celebration, and empowering their inherent resiliency.

Are you tired of feeling like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders alone? Do you find yourself smiling on the outside, while feeling like you're falling apart on the inside? Whether you're grappling with overwhelming emotions, facing challenges at the intersection of your identities, or carrying the weight of unresolved trauma and grief, taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. But it's in this vulnerability that real growth and healing can begin. Therapy can help you to understand yourself on a deeper level, learn new ways to cope, and feel more in control as you navigate life's ups and downs.

“Mental health is not a destination but a process- its about how you drive, not where you're going."

Our alliance is of the utmost importance and I strive to form meaningful and strong therapeutic connections so that my clients can flourish.
