Individual therapy tailored specifically to each person. Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and support you on your journey to feeling whole. By creating a mutually trusting and respectful relationship, we will work with you to better understand and resolve the impact of old experiences and current life challenges. Together, we will identify your needs, strengths, and resources, and help you progress towards your goals.

Life events, traumas, big and small, can really throw you off course and leave a lasting impact. They may affect you at many levels including mentally, emotionally, and physically. These experiences can taint how you perceive yourself and others, negatively impact your relationships and your work, and it can be hard to break away from their hold on you. You might come to realize that you are not living your best life and wish you could feel like yourself again. It would be great to feel resilient and be able to live life more intentionally. And this is exactly what I hope to help you with. ​

My areas of focus as a bilingual Registered Psychotherapist for 15 years include anxiety, depression, challenging life transitions, grief, post-concussion syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder and complex PTSD, sleep difficulties, relationship issues, and stress management. Since 2007, I have been specializing in treating various forms of trauma, both recent and past, with a broad spectrum of clients including BIPOC and LGTBQ2S+ clients. I believe traumas are a result of events, big or small, that can leave lasting emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual impacts. We often hear of the ‘big’ traumas, but every day events such as bullying, childhood neglect, rejection, injuries, or a medical diagnosis can all have a traumatic effect on a person.

I am a psychodynamic, client-centred therapist. I integrate complementary methodologies to offer a personalized approach tailored to each person. I often include EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic and parts work, and CBT therapies to my intervention. With compassion and understanding, I aim to create an inclusive space and work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and address personal life challenges.

Life stressors and challenges can take a lot out of you. They can leave you feeling anxious, depressed, and simply exhausted. It can be tough to adjust to the changes in the world and adapt to current realities. Hardships can challenge you to tap into your strengths and build up your resiliency. The path to healing doesn’t need to be travelled alone. I’m here to work along side you as you regain control over your life and feel good again. Let’s take the steps together to recenter and refuel so that you can feel like your best self.

My lived experiences as a black woman, an immigrant, a person with a physical disability, and a Human Resources professional provide me with a unique perspective. Through my intersectionalities, I appreciate the different factors that colour the way each person experiences challenges and their impact on how they show up personally and professionally. I work with individuals dealing with anxiety, workplace stressors and career questioning, multicultural issues, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you want to shift to a more positive mindset, I’m happy to help!

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and psychotherapist-in-training, I offer both in person and virtual psychotherapy services. I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a post graduate certificate in human resources management.

During our time together, I will draw from different modalities such as Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy along with Trauma Informed approaches.

Today’s realities can be hard to understand and navigate. Experiences might leave you feeling anxious, depressed, worried, or traumatized. It can feel encouraging to know you can receive support and guidance to progress on your journey more peacefully.

My role as a psychotherapist-in-training is to empower you towards greater self-understanding in order to help you embrace your authentic self, cultivate meaningful connections with others, and lead a more fulfilling life. I work with adults dealing with difficult life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, and relational issues. It is a privilege to be by my clients’ side during this process, providing them with a safe and intimate space to explore their stories, discover their strengths, and ultimately find healing and hope amidst life’s trials.

My style is warm, approachable, and genuine. My approach is client-centered and multi-disciplinary, grounded in psychodynamic theory. I also offer EMDR therapy as a therapist-in-training. I strongly believe in the power of human resilience and the capacity for growth and change. Together, we will embark on a collaborative path toward understanding, healing, transformation, and connection.
