Do you ever wonder who you’re expected to be in different spaces, or catch yourself thinking, “Am I too much? Not enough? Doing this all wrong?” Do you ever feel you don’t quite fit anywhere, always shifting, keeping it together, or being the steady one while everything around you keeps changing? Maybe you’re carrying expectations from your family, culture, or relationships that feel heavy, and confusing. If any of this sounds familiar, you don’t need the right words or to over-explain yourself to belong here. This is a place where you don’t have to perform or hold it all together, a space where you can be just yourself.
Our sessions are shaped around what support you need in the moment. We might talk things through, use a fidget to help your body settle, or explore what you’re carrying through simple creative prompts. If it feels helpful I’ll share practical tools for everyday life. Some weeks we’ll focus on growth, other weeks we’ll pause to notice what’s present for you.
Starting this journey can feel scary, and finding the right therapist can make all the difference. My lived experience as a military spouse and a first-generation Fijian-Canadian has shaped how I listen, allow for pauses, and create sessions that don’t rush insight or healing. If this space feels like it connects to you, you’re welcome to reach out.

I support BIPOC teens and adults, including military spouses, who often feel misunderstood, out of place, or like they're carrying a lot on their own. Many people come in seeking connection, clarity, or a place to finally exhale. In the first few sessions, we focus on getting to know each other, understanding what's been weighing on you, and what you're hoping for. We'll move gently, at your pace,

Our sessions are a space to show up as you are. We'll start by getting to know you, your story, and what matters most to you. We'll talk about what's been weighing on you or what you want to grow. Some sessions might be all talking, others more creative, or simply slowing things down together. We'll find a rhythm that fits you.
