I describe myself as a transformational therapist not because it is trendy but because my approach is centred on transformation. Each of us has an internal drive towards healing; we seek to be better than "fine." We all experienced trauma in one form or another, no parent who has ever lived could meet every need we had as children. We all have parts of ourselves that we have cut off, disowned, or devalued. In therapy, we work together to construct a new experience, allowing you to reclaim who you truly are.

Tired of having to explain your culture/religion/family dynamic to a counsellor? You're in the right place. As a multicultural therapist I offer a unique lens into understanding your life and the role your people, culture and faith play in it. I believe healing takes place through feeling real, human connection, which means taking time to build an authentic, trusting relationship with each other. I work with you to explore emotional patterns, thoughts, and feelings so you can step into the world as your most authentic, peaceful self.

It's okay to be feeling VERY overwhelmed right now. When our mental health struggles, whether:it's depression, anxiety, relationship discord, or another health concern- everything feels heavier, larger and harder. My practice, The Hive YXE focuses on making counselling easy, relatable, comfortable and effective. We do so by: having flexible appointment times (days,evening and weekends), offering direct billing & a sliding scale, using realistic and implementable skills and techniques- and by never cookie cutting our clients. We use lived experience and education to help our clients feel seen, heard and helped.

Do you feel disconnected, caught between the desire to belong and the fear of being truly seen? I work with people who are tired of just "powering through." My approach isn't about sitting in a circle; it’s about building a tactical toolkit. We move past the surface-level frustration to look at the patterns that keep you stuck.

You lie awake at night with a million thoughts and worries running through your mind. And wake up feeling overwhelmed by everything you need to get done. You set super high expectations for yourself, then feel like you can never measure up. You’re living with your own worst critic - that internal voice that’s always telling you that you’re not good enough. Maybe you also live with the worry that something terrible could happen at any time, and that you won’t be able to get through it.
