As a biracial therapist with Caribbean ancestry, I know how important it is to feel truly seen, heard, and understood—especially when navigating systems that weren’t built with BIPOC folks in mind. I offer counselling and system navigation support for individuals and families who are stressed, overwhelmed, or feeling stuck—whether due to caregiving, identity-based stressors, relationship dynamics, parenting, aging, life transitions, or difficulty accessing the care and resources they need. I draw from trauma-informed, intersectional, and relational-cultural approaches to meet people where they’re at, without judgment. Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold to be effective. Together, we can build a space grounded in safety, clarity, and connection—where you don’t have to explain your identity, justify your boundaries, or shrink yourself to fit in. I provide support to individuals and families navigating complex systems (like healthcare, housing, separation and divorce, or education), and I also accept referrals for short-term counselling, discharge planning, and care coordination. My practice is queer-affirming, anti-oppressive, and rooted in a deep respect for self-determination and community care. I offer services throughout British Columbia, with flexible availability for in-person, virtual, and telephone sessions. Daytime, evening, and weekend appointments are available to meet you where you’re at—both in life and in your schedule.
