Starting therapy can feel like embarking on a journey into uncharted territory. It’s confronting overwhelming challenges like the persistent weight of anxiety, the pervasive cloud of depression, the tension of stress, or the intricate interplay of life’s multifaceted issues that often drives us to seek therapeutic support. Making the decision to start therapy marks a pivotal moment in the pursuit of self-discovery and healing. Entering therapy is a testament to resilience. It’s about bravely confronting internal struggles with the hope of finding relief, understanding, and ultimately, positive change.

The decision to start therapy is a courageous acknowledgement that one’s emotional well-being deserves attention and care. Building a trusting relationship is critical for change. With a culturally responsive and trauma-focused lens, I take an integrative approach to therapy by drawing on psychodynamic and humanistic frameworks that’ve been proven effective.

Depending on your therapeutic goals, we may explore your unconscious processes and past experiences to gain insight into current patterns of behaviour and emotions. I believe that by exploring your story, we can better understand, address, and overcome current challenges. Through this work, you may experience and build self-awareness and self-leadership.
