Practice information:

I believe that every person who comes in the room has unique stories and lived experiences they bring in, so I orient the therapy depending on the your needs. I also recognize the limitations and barriers BIPOC and marginalized communities experience in terms of accessing and reaching out for mental health services. I aim to create a space where people of all intersectionalities can feel like they belong. To feel like they can be themselves in their most unique ways. Where their stories will be heard and held. I am continuously working to decolonize therapy in my counselling practice and personally around my identity.

I frequently work with individuals who are dealing with anxiety and depression, disordered eating and body image issues, self-esteem and identity (racial, gender and intersections), trauma and complex PTSD. Some approaches that inform how I work are pulling from Narrative therapy, Queer theory, Intersectional Feminism (Kimberlé Crenshaw and bell hook’s work), Justice-doing work, “Oppression” and Resistance-Informed practice (from my supervisor Vikki Reynolds), Somatic Abolitionism and trauma-informed therapies (from Resmaa Menakem, Bessel van der Kolk’s work and EMDR), Humanistic and Jungian approach to Art Therapy, and Health At Every Size.

My therapeutic approach is very person-centered. I’ll always prioritize how you’re feeling and work with the fact that we all change as we are figuring things out. You can expect a genuine and compassionate approach when we are together.
