Online Counselling for M6C

Navigating life's challenges can be difficult and reaching out for support is often the hardest step. I am here to provide a “safer”, caring and supportive space to you in your mental health journey. I step into the therapeutic space as a woman of colour and a psychotherapist. I recognize how the systems we exist in influence our lives and experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, intersectional, and anti-oppressive. In our sessions, I encourage exploration, offer support, and nurture fresh perspectives through gentle and creative methods.

Hey there, how are you? If you find it challenging to answer that question, that’s okay. Life is complicated! There are so many ups and downs. It can be hard keeping it all together. Balancing your emotional wellbeing with your mental, spiritual, and physical takes a lot of effort. I get that, and I am passionate about helping you navigate your journey, rediscover yourself, and see new possibilities for your life.

I am passionate about encouraging clients to not only survive, but to thrive in their everyday lives by healing from past traumas and learning new ways to cope with various life challenges. I believe that everyone has the potential to be their best selves with the help of genuine and non-judgemental support. I have worked with both youth and adults presenting with a variety of issues such as low self-esteem, body image issues, depression, anxiety, and grief. I am also trained in suicide prevention (ASIST).

You can be free to live your best life!!! I provide collaborative therapeutic work in assisting you to resolve issues, restore perspectives and recharge your dreams. I am a caring psychotherapist with a genuine enthusiasm for people to know inner wellness and personal freedom. My significant experience have provided me confidence in treating various psychological, emotional and behavioural issues in individuals, couples and families. My approach is to provide meaningful and effective treatment in a safe, nurturing and non-judgmental environment where you can find a support that is compassionate and transformative.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, depressed, hopeless, lonely,confused, scared, frustrated or stuck? Are the issues that you are facing getting in the way of your daily functioning, enjoyment, health, relationships, goals, academic success, job performance and of the hopes and dreams that you have for yourself? Are you tired of feeling the way that you are and want something different for yourself? If you answered "Yes" to any of the above, then you've come to the right place! We can work together to help you move toward a healthier and happier place in a way that fits for you.

You deserve to be free and to live a full and happy life! It is our genuine desire that you experience personal freedom. From this safe space you will be able to discover your true identity that will help you connect that Heart-Mind Unity that helps you live from the Fullness of Being. You will be able to dismantle negative beliefs and perceptions about life and find the wisdom to solve present difficulties. You will learn to restore healthy perspectives that will lead you to realize your dreams, resolve conflicting desires, navigate the demands that are made on you, and find meaning to your existence.

I came to Gestalt Psychotherapy after a decade of teaching yoga and meditation workshops in Canada, Greece, Mexico and Nicaragua. I noticed that wisdom practices (such as meditation, yoga, breath-work, and reflection) lead people to face vulnerability and perhaps even pain inside their minds, hearts and bodies. Many people have insights about themselves, but they believe they can mentally figure it out on their own. We are not meant to do all the processing on our own. The therapeutic relationship allows us the support of a compassionate and trained witness so we can explore what is present.

Underneath your anxiety, depression and anger there are feelings that need to be explored, known and expressed. This awareness is valuable and will be the foundation of future possibilities and choices. I will provide the support you need to start this journey and then will challenge you and offer new choices in a way that empowers you. I will help you get more curious about things you haven't paid so much attention to and together we will explore struggles, issues and then new possibilities.
