Warmest Welcome! I recognize that this is a courageous step towards your healing and for that, what a beautiful act to do for yourself! Growing up as a new Canadian/immigrant I quickly learned that topics around mental health and wellness were often pushed to the side or rarely explored inside or outside of the home. Navigating these issues may feel lonely, especially when you feel unsupported or misunderstood. As a Qualifying Registered Psychotherapist, I intend to create a safe space for reflection, healing, unlearning, and relearning in therapy.My experiences as an educator and work with Indigenous and East African communities have informed my therapeutic practice. This has helped me integrate cultural nuances in therapy (if need be). I utilize an anti-oppressive, client-centered, and empathetic approach. The therapeutic modalities I employ when helping my clients are Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy.
