I believe each of us carries a story worth telling. As a child, stories gave me shelter. I was often tucked inside books, films, and songs. What I took from them was this: naming our experiences, even the hard ones, can help us feel less alone. As a therapist, I return to storytelling for its power to support healing and transformation.
I understand grief and loss as a core human experience, profoundly shaped by our place in the world. I bring a decolonial, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed lens, with a deep commitment to affirming and supporting queer and trans identities. I believe lived experience is its own form of expertise, and I will approach your story with curiosity and humility.
Focus Areas: Individuals navigating grief and loss, sudden life changes, feelings of disconnection, isolation, and fatigue, relationship ruptures, identity shifts, and generational trauma, particularly within BIPOC communities. As a non‑monogamy, poly‑aware, kink‑affirming Therapist-in-Training, I aim to support diverse relationships in creating secure bonds. I draw from CBT, Narrative Therapy, somatic practices, mindfulness, and music-based interventions that help express feelings we may not yet have words for.
When I am not in session, you can find me marathoning my favourite TV shows, enjoying a matcha latte at my local café, or curled up napping with my cat.
“Grief is praise, because it is the natural way love honors what it misses.”
