Whatever you’re struggling with, you don’t have to deal with it alone. It’s possible to heal from trauma, find internal peace, and learn new skills that help you transform into the person you want to be and step into the life you want to have. It takes courage to seek support and work through your problems, but with time and commitment, therapy is one of the most rewarding things you can do for yourself.
I compassionately treat you as a whole person rather than just a diagnosis; warmly acknowledging and affirming important aspects of your identity such as race, gender, and sexual orientation. I believe in having an honest, collaborative partnership where we work together to resolve your concerns, processing trauma and regulating difficult emotions.
I believe that providing a safe and nonjudgmental space is essential to the therapeutic relationship, so rest assured that you can entrust me with your most painful stories. I’m here to support you in recognizing and building upon your strengths as we collaboratively develop strategies to improve your life in meaningful ways.

As a holistic Social Worker, I place a strong emphasis on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions of health and wellness. I work within an inclusive, trauma-informed, anti-racist, anti-oppressive framework that incorporates principles of intersectionality. Moreover, I practice from a culturally relevant, client-centred, strength-based, non-judgemental, collaborative approach. With compassion, honesty, warmth, and presence, I hope to hold space for clients to use their innate curiosity and introspection to address the root causes of their challenges, strengthen relationships, and build meaningful social connections.
I incorporate elements of various therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Attachment-focused Psychotherapy, Trauma Therapy, and Mindfulness. I include trauma-informed principles into practice, that also considers the impacts of complex trauma, racial trauma, intergenerational and multigenerational trauma on individuals and communities, particularly Black and Indigenous communities.

Our lives and all the intersecting parts can be too much to bear at times. Carrying around trauma, negative self-talk and heavy emotions is exhausting and impacts the mind and body.

I am a Registered Social Worker and have over 18 years of experience working with individuals with complex mental health and addiction issues. Working with clients from diverse backgrounds, I provide professional and confidential counselling to address a number of issues such as anxiety, depression, stress management, life transitions, coping skills, self harming behaviours, communication skills and relationship issues. I believe in treating the whole person and tailor treatment to meet each individual’s personal needs and treatment goals. I work from an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed perspective and am trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Solution- Focused Brief Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Trauma-Informed treatment and Gottman Method of Couples therapy. I would be honored for you to share your story with me. Together, we can explore, unpack and work through new and old issues and challenges, locate yourself in your daily situations, reflect and influence positive change in your life.
