Weaving through your strengths and resources, I bring in my lived experience as someone who has had to re-start a few things in life. I believe it is never too late to embark on a journey to achieve better health. I studied, worked and lived in 4 different continents: Africa, Europe, Asia and North America and I'm passionate about walking alongside families, youths, seniors and individuals from diverse backgrounds on their journey to whole health as they harness their internal and external resources to get to optimum mental health.

I specialize in working with women who have suffered childhood trauma and are currently struggling in toxic relationships. As a professional, I support those who are struggling with the ongoing issue of being trapped in abusive relationships. These experiences can leave individuals feeling worthless and questioning their own sanity. Adequate sleep, meaningful intimacy with one's partner, and quality family time are pivotal in mitigating the effects of childhood trauma. I am here to help you achieve these goals, and to remind you that being part of a community that values and cherishes you is a basic human need.

I believe that the single most important aspect of the counselling process is the development of a safe, respectful working relationship between the therapist and client. It takes a lot of courage for people to walk through the counselling door. I want to ensure that clients get a very good sense of who I am and how I work so that the client leaves after the first session knowing they have been heard and understood - and feel positive about our ability to work together.

I work with children and adults from a variety of diverse backgrounds. Psychological treatment includes counselling for situational hardship, trauma counselling, DSM-5 diagnosis treatment, and talk therapy.

We all feel lost from time to time. Part of us wants to move forward and part of us wants to stay the same. We wrestle within ourselves and we emotionally wrestle with those we are closest to. It can be overwhelming and exhausting. We are a product of our past; good, bad, or otherwise. You know that there is so much more to you than the battles that you are facing. There is freedom in getting to know why you respond the way that you do, and there is a way to change the way you respond.

I am glad that you made it here! If you struggle with food and body image, you have come to the right place. Maybe you think about food all the time, or yo-yo diet, or maybe you find yourself restricting what you eat without knowing why, or how to stop. Food and eating are a part of our culture that often become warped and distorted. Whether you have internalized messages that state that you have to be a certain size to have value, or you feel like food allows you to numb out, constant thoughts about food and body image can be exhausting.

Are you ready to move forward in your life, support your well being, while coping with those daily stresses? Do you need support with anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, or parenting? I can help you utilize your inner strengths by teaching you new skills, helping you set boundaries, prioritize yourself, and begin heal through traumatic experiences. We can do this together by engaging in goal-focused individual or family therapy.
