Welcome! I am a trauma therapist with culturally informed, anti-racist & intersectional feminist values. I would be honored to walk through life's difficulties with you through creating a trusting relationship. We can process life experiences, break intergenerational trauma cycles, develop your unique identity, explore values, or set boundaries. Through being more compassionate to yourself, we can build your self worth and heal childhood wounds. I work holistically to support folks to deepen their connections to their mind, body, soul, spirit, emotions & community. I care about creating safer spaces that empower BIPOC mental health.
As the founder of BIPOC Healing and Wellness Centre, I specialize in healing from racism, racial trauma & racial grief. Other specialties include immigrant & refugee mental health; sexual violence; grief and loss; childhood abuse; complex trauma & PTSD; LGBTQ2S; trauma-informed yoga & meditation; somatic therapy; spirituality; culturally safe therapy.
You can expect me to meet you with compassion, empowerment, warmth, authenticity, humor and gentleness. We can collaborate to create tailored therapy for you. It would be an honor to get to know who you are. Your stories are worth hearing, your strengths are worth celebrating and you don't have to be alone in your healing. I believe in your capacity to heal.
