On the outside you look unstoppable. Others admire your strength and resilience. No one seems to notice that beneath the surface, you feel like you are drowning. You’re exhausted from fighting invisible battles. Perhaps you grapple with trust issues, irritability, grief, inexplicable anxiety, feelings of detachment, and isolation. Or maybe you are stuck in cycles of high adrenaline followed by exhaustion, relying on caffeine, sleep aids, or binge eating just to get through the day. What once helped you to survive is now taking a toll, chipping away at your relationships, health, and quality of life.
I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), a Certified Trauma Professional, and a Registered Nurse (RN) with extensive experience in psychiatric nursing. My approach is direct, compassionate, and grounded in real-life experience. I integrate a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches that are thoughtfully tailored to your personal goals.
As a bi-racial lesbian woman, I welcome and provide a safe space for all. I am passionate about supporting those with trauma, psychiatric disorders, and chronic illnesses. I also work with healthcare/EMS/law enforcement professionals and the family of those with psychiatric diagnoses.
Please reach out to work with me - it would be an honour to support you!
