Hello! Are you struggling with people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-criticism and/or perimenopause? Do you question who you really are now? Are guilt or shame messaging from cultural norms about your gender, sexual orientation, 'race' etc. holding you back from achieving your full potential? Are old patterns recurring & you feel stuck in unhealthy habits? Are you grieving losses - a job, a relationship, a pet? If YES to any of these, I'd like to support you to grow into your wholehearted authentic life.
Let's till the soil, prune/unlearn, plant new seeds and cultivate new growth in your life.
Let 2026 be time to invest in YOU!
As a spiritually plural queer educated foreign-born settler woman of colour, I am aware of the intersecting realities of privilege & oppression. My breadth of lived experience in health care, education, business & law honed my skills in building relationships and providing trusted & respected support and insight-oriented care in all these life struggles.
My practice focuses on building a collaborative, empathetic & authentic therapeutic relationship with you, my clients, to advance your personal growth as we co-create a path to your more empowered life. I want to understand you & your needs, and to answer your questions about therapy, so take that first step - contact me to book a free consultation today!
