ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
Over the years, I have been involved in activism and advocacy to break the stigma surrounding mental health, increase mental health awareness, improve education about mental health, and address the need for accessibility to mental health services for racialized communities and all communities. I have experience as a peer support worker, providing support and crisis interventions in various settings and communities, and delivering mental health workshops focused on mental health literacy and anti-oppression. In addition, I have clinical experience working with a wide range of clients presenting issues. My experience informs my individualized and integrative approach to supporting all my clients.
I aim to help clients process and deal with their experiences, heal, make appropriate and meaningful changes for their future, and become the best versions of themselves through therapy. I am focused on providing therapy through an anti-oppressive, intersectional, culturally responsive, and informed lens to all persons inclusive of BIPOC, minority, and immigrant communities.
I value inclusivity and diversity and work from a therapeutic approach that incorporates these values. I am dedicated to ensuring that all my clients feel safe, respected, and supported in their journeys towards wellness with me.
Compassion, warmth, empathy, and non-judgement are the cornerstones of my therapeutic presence. Looking forward to going on your journey with you!

“The irony is that we attempt to disown our difficult stories to appear more whole or more acceptable, but our wholeness - even our wholeheartedness - actually depends on the integration of all of our experiences, including the falls.” - Brené Brown
