Do you feel stressed out, burnt out, and overwhelmed because you overthink and ignore? Are you scared of confrontation and choose avoidance? Is the built-up anxiety causing chaos for you? How about trusting yourself? Has it turned into self-doubt and self-sabotage? Perhaps you are so hard on yourself that it seems very difficult to even notice how you feel! It is evident at some point in life, we, experience difficulty and hardship as such. I get it; I have walked that same hard road too challenged by fears, traditional family beliefs, dismissiveness, humiliation, and bouncing back and forth. In this mindset, even seeking the right professional for support is tedious. I understand the emotional turmoil, and that’s the reason I hold a non-judgemental space for you to rebuild your authentic self-possessed life as you so deserve.

As a mindfulness therapist, I provide an opportunity to explore and face any of your harmful beliefs and perceptions. I employ various other evidence-based therapeutic modalities, techniques, and psycho-spiritual/educational information suitable to your therapeutic aspiration and satisfaction. This healing process allows you to gain insight into your emotional intelligence and awareness. I cater to your personal needs and pace.

I support Individuals encountering: Anxiety, Depression, Low Self-Esteem, Trauma/PTSD, Grief, LGBTTQQIAAP Equality & Identity pressures, Cultural/Religious/Spiritual struggles, Work/School-related issues, and Relationship challenges among other Life Transitional stresses. 

I value cultural diversity, am deeply intuitive in my work, empathetic, and thrive on collaboration.  My focus is on being client-centered and attending to your unique requirements. I operate from an anti-oppressive framework, and my practice embraces all genders, sexual orientations, BIPOC, queer, trans and non-binary inclusive; everyone is welcome.

I invite you to contact me for a Free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we are a good fit for each other.

The Sliding Scale offer is only for individuals who do not have any extended health coverage!

Using a strengths-based, client-centred approach, I offer individual counselling and small group counselling services. I tailor my counselling services to your needs and will discuss various evidenced based care options with you for you to choose from. Whether you are coping with a stressful situation, feel anxious or sad, coming to terms with some past experiences or just looking for an understanding and non-judgmental ear, I am trained to help you address what is most important to you.

I believe that life circumstances and our experiences can lead us to develop coping strategies which can get in the way of achieving our goals or living the kind of life we would wish for ourselves. I aim to provide my clients with a safe, welcoming and empathetic space where coping strategies that aren’t working can be explored and better understood, where motivation for new coping strategies can build, and new strategies can be developed and implemented.

I believe that my clients are the experts in themselves and what will work best for them. For that reason, I offer my clients a range of therapeutic modalities and use an integrative therapeutic approach drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused therapy, client-centred therapy, mindfulness, narrative therapy, psychodynamic theories, and complicated grief and prolonged exposure protocols. I believe in evidenced-informed practice and engaging and empowering my clients at all stages of the therapeutic process. I see myself as a guide along your path to wellness, offering you tools to support your journey.
