Therapists in V3L
I am a bicultural therapist and my clients relate to me because they look for someone who appreciates what it's like to be inside of cultural and generational divides. I have over 5 years of experience working with professionals, parents, and students on issues related to trauma, immigration, family dynamics, and unacknowledged grief. Unacknowledged grief is what that doesn't fit our society's expectations: grief of relocating, of surviving disasters, of change. What makes me different from most therapists, is that I am passionate about helping people navigate the "other" relationships: friendships and workplace dynamics.

I am a Jamaican living in Vancouver. As a recent immigrant, I am aware of how the process and experience of forging a new life can bring both satisfaction and distress especially in intimate relationships. Life transitions can cause emotional stress and often, we need help to tap into our own inherent strengths. Sexuality and sexual behaviours can also be challenging for some but, I am passionate about working with individuals and couples of all genders, orientations, races and ethnicities. I also specialize in addictions which I view as a maladaptive coping skill for traumatic situations.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by anxiety, depression, grief, or masking your neurodiversity? Perhaps traditional talk therapy hasn't worked, or you're seeking a fresh, creative approach. Maybe you're a parent struggling to support your child or a teenager navigating difficult emotions. If you've tried to manage on your own or through therapy but still feel stuck, you're not alone. Compassionate and creative therapy can help you foster personal growth, healing, and resilience. This isn't a one-size-fits-all approach; it's about discovering your unique path to living your life to the fullest.

I work with clients who are managing a variety of mental health concerns through a trauma-informed lens. You may come into therapy with labels and diagnoses which can feel heavy at times. My goal is to explore these with you to provide symptom management and collaboratively find more productive ways of looking at yourself. I've got a special passion for working with familial dynamics and relationships.

Anxiety, worry, depression, or stress can prevent us from enjoying the life we desire. What we think and feel can shape our reality, how we navigate the world, and also influence how others respond to us. This is because our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are all connected and are constantly creating feedback loops – both positive and negative. Sometimes life throws unexpected curveballs that trigger a downward spiral that (at the time) can feel impossible to recover from. Although difficult events can be destabilizing, confusing, and painful they can also offer us the greatest opportunity for growth.
