Are you tired of feeling like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders alone? Do you find yourself smiling on the outside, while feeling like you're falling apart on the inside? Whether you're grappling with overwhelming emotions, facing challenges at the intersection of your identities, or carrying the weight of unresolved trauma and grief, taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. But it's in this vulnerability that real growth and healing can begin. Therapy can help you to understand yourself on a deeper level, learn new ways to cope, and feel more in control as you navigate life's ups and downs.

Driven by curiosity, collaboration, cultural sensitivity, and a touch of humour, I provide a brave, compassionate space to unpack and explore your experiences. Operating from a holistic, anti-oppressive, strengths-based, trauma-informed framework, I passionately provide support to teens (16+), individuals, couples, and the BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ communities.

Please know that wherever you find yourself on your journey, I warmly welcome and hold space for you, exactly as you are. Together we'll explore the depths of your inner world, untangle the knots of your mind, and embark on a journey towards self-discovery, acceptance, and healing. To learn more, reach out to book a complimentary 30 min consultation today.
