Life often comes at us in ways that leave little room to breathe, feel, and reflect. This can create a cycle of survival that forces us to simply ‘get over’ what impacts us. I support clients in slowing down and tending to their mental and emotional well-being. I help clients understand the experiences that influence how they move through the world, foster compassion for how they have survived thus far, and develop new ways to care for themselves. I also gently challenge clients to recognize and lean into their strengths.
I work with racialized individuals experiencing burnout, folks exploring their sexuality and gender identity, and couples navigating cultural differences. I practice from a place of cultural humility and honour how your identities shape your worldview. I also believe in bringing laughter into the therapy room when we can.
Seeking help is a tremendous step that can feel daunting and hard to navigate alone. I am happy to chat with you about the therapeutic journey and how I can support you.

I’m a Black trained creative arts therapist and somatic therapy practitioner based in Tiohtia:ke/Montreal. My approach to therapy is essentially somatic, trauma-informed, person-centered and anchored in the assumptions of liberation psychology, anti-oppression & response-based practice.
I have practiced drama therapy and mental health counselling in community settings, with a focus on supporting marginalized Black folks, BIPOC and QTBIPOC youth. I am committed to a decolonized or re-indigenized view of health. Instead of viewing behavior and symptoms through the lens of pathology, I ask: How has your nervous system been responding to the world around it, and why? How can we work together to build compassionate understanding for these responses, while remaining curious as to what new responses may better suit who you currently are and what you desire?
Together, we can work towards your goals and support you in remembering and reconnecting to your own inherent resiliency and sacred resources for navigating all of life’s challenges.
Depending on the needs of those I work with, I draw tools from different therapeutic approaches:
Drama therapy, with some tools drawn from art, music and dance movement therapy
Mindfulness-based techniques
Person-centered therapy (humanistic)
Emotion-focused therapy
Solution-focused therapy
Somatic and EMDR therapy
Compassion-focused therapy
Strength-based approach
Response-based practice
Internal family systems therapy (IFS)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

My journey into psychotherapy is deeply rooted in my personal experiences and passion for helping others. At the tender age of six, I witnessed the horrors of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, an event that took my parents’ lives and the majority of my family members and left me and my siblings to navigate life amidst profound trauma and loss. Growing up in orphanages and foster homes, I faced challenges that far exceeded typical childhood experiences. Despite these adversities, I found hope, resilience, and purpose.
Migrating to Canada from Rwanda in 2010 marked a turning point in my life. My journey’s struggles and triumphs have shaped my commitment to mental health advocacy and my desire to support others through their own healing processes. I believe in the power of transformation and the human spirit’s ability to overcome even the most challenging circumstances.
Approach to Therapy:
As a therapist fluent in French and English, my therapy approach is trauma-informed and person-centered. I offer culturally sensitive therapy tailored to diverse clients, BIPOC, Afro-Black communities, and beyond.
Drawing from a rich background in Clinical Counselling, my therapy is tailored to individual needs. It blends psychoeducation on brain health with evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, MBCT, ITATM, and trauma-focused therapies. I offer a supportive space to explore life challenges and improve cognitive functioning.
I confidently utilize an integrative psychotherapy approach to support my clients, whether they desire to incorporate Christian faith into their therapy sessions or not. My expertise allows me to serve individuals with or without a faith-based focus, providing comprehensive care tailored to their specific needs.
I understand that your journey is unique. I look forward to journeying with you through life’s challenges with empathy and compassion.
Your story is unique, and I would be honored to journey with you.
