People seek help for specific reasons such as eating disorders, psycho-somatic conditions, obsessional behaviour, or phobic anxieties. At other times help is sought because of more general underlying feelings of depression or anxiety, difficulties in concentrating, dissatisfaction in work or inability to form satisfactory relationships. We believe in a mind-body connection so that improvements in psychological well-being translate into physical vitality. The benefits of our psychotherapy and counselling work include self-insight, inner fulfillment, raised self-esteem, a positive outlook and improved relationships.

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re navigating the complexities of identity, relationships, and systemic oppression. You might be exploring your place within community, struggling with self-worth, or working through grief tied to global or personal crises. In these moments, finding a safe, affirming space to process your experiences can be transformative. I work with clients to help shift feelings of isolation and hopelessness into connection, empowerment, and action. Together, we focus on building authentic relationships, deepening self-understanding, and creating a sense of belonging rooted in your values and unique story.

Hi! I'm a Black queer social worker, passionate about creating affirming healing spaces for BIPOC, queer folks and trans folks, though I work with many communities. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed with everything going on, and struggling to understand and regulate your emotions. Or, perhaps you’re feeling disconnected from others and from yourself, and wanting to deepen these relationships. Whatever you're going through, everyone deserves compassionate support from a therapist with whom they feel seen, heard and understood. I believe that everyone has the ability to heal themselves, and it is an honour to support that process.

I am queer, neurodivergent, and a parent. My first language is English. I have 14 years of clinical experience in psychiatry, addictions, trauma and community work. I work to help people integrate their thoughts, emotions, somatic experiences and stories of empowerment to help them develop their self-awareness and find meaning in the world. I have worked with issues such as Depression, Stress Management, CPTSD, Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Gender Dysphoria, Eating Disorders, Addictions, BPD and PTSD. I believe people are more than a diagnosis, and that real change begins with presence, connection, and safety.

Multicultural and bilingual, I have lived and worked in different countries and cultures including France, USA, Tunisia, Switzerland and Quebec. This has taught me that the search for meaning and wholeness and human connection is universal. However, in today's fast paced wired world, both inner and outer pressures make it easy to lose track of these values, to disconnect from our own needs , our inner voice and from authentic relationships with others. Depressions, anxiety, even certain health issues are just some of the inevitable symptoms that may emerge to make us stop and question our trajectory.

Over the years as a helping professional I realized that people care less about clever language and elaborate techniques and more about receiving sincere love and compassion, living hope and courage, honest feedback, and new perspectives. What proved to help is having the mutual trust to explore and work on intimate, sometimes painful topics, step-by-step. Together, we invite your strengths and natural wisdom to take the steering wheel of your life, letting go of the grasp of your fears and limiting self-beliefs. Together, we also help you chose and create new habits towards a better ways of being.

We, as human beings, all face difficult times during our lives. These phases can leave us feeling out of control and isolated. The simple act of choosing change in your life can help you to feel empowered and on a path to a greater sense of well-being. As an integrative therapist (using cognitive behavioral, supportive, interpersonal and existential techniques), I will first help you to define your goals and then support you as you work towards achieving them. Using those techniques that best suit your particular needs and styles, we will effectively create a New Therapy tailored specifically for you.

Working with families with children of all ages, I specialize in helping strengthen the parent-child relationship. I provide tools to foster resilience and wellbeing, whether it be during periods of transition (e.g., prenatal/postpartum periods, transition to school, separation/divorce), or during regular day-to-day parenting. By helping you work through your struggles that arise with your children, you can raise happy, confident children.
