We all have times in our lives when we know something is wrong, even if we don’t know what it is. You might feel off-balance, low energy, not yourself. Often you feel like you want to talk about what’s happening with someone, even if you aren't yet clear about it. You want to be able to talk with someone who won’t judge you, who won’t second guess your experiences, or try to explain them away, or try to rewrite your story for you. You want to be able to talk with someone who will listen without an agenda. Someone who can provide understanding and compassion, patience and authenticity. Let's talk.

I believe that our relationships can be sites of powerful healing. As a therapist it is an honour to work alongside couples and families as their relationships - to one another, to others, to themselves - transform. It is through this transformation that we come to better understand ourselves and create new ways of being that are more compassionate, empathetic and generative.

Sit with me in person or dial in virtually across Canada is step one. It’s complementary. Step two we work together on what’s hurting you, maybe relationships, work roadblocks, grief or transitions. It takes bravery to say please help, it’s not unusual that there is no apparent reason. It is ok to need a listening ear to open up new choices on how to live life.

I am a queer femme of colour who is working to support collective healing and liberation by offering individual counselling. My work is centred in an intersectional feminist approach to therapy drawing from somatics, narrative and evidence based practices.

I see my role as creating a container to support a person in developing deeper accountability and consent in their relationship with themselves and with others.

I work together with clients to capitalize on their inherent strengths and skills, and to cultivate greater feelings of connection, authenticity, understanding, curiosity, compassion, and mindfulness in their lives.
