Living with chronic conditions can present numerous challenges beyond physical discomfort. It often leads to struggles with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem, impacting our relationships with ourselves and others. Unaddressed past issues can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or hopeless, deeply impacting our adult lives.

Little is more amazing, complex, and sometimes unsettling, than human thought, emotion, and behavior. This interest, coupled with a love of working with people in a direct and meaningful way, is why I work as a counselor. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Ottawa University and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health from the University of Phoenix. My training background and approach to therapy is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and in Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

My mission is to assist women, with an emphasis on women within the BIPOC community in de-stigmatizing mental health and making it safe to receive mental health treatment. We have been placed in undesirable roles, where we began to accept the false narrative and unrealistic expectations that we are to be all things, to all people within our lives. We take on many roles while fighting the societal stereotypes placed upon us. Through this, the greatest of all losses occurred…we lost ourselves. Together, I will assist you in cultivating a firmer foundation of self.

Have you ever wondered why you keep getting stuck in the same patterns and can't avoid getting hurt? Sometimes our good intentions don't pan out the way we intended. Whether those patterns include relationships with the "wrong" behavior, person, or thing, you are at a place to finally seek out those answers. Sometimes we know what we need to do, but don't understand why. Finding the closure we need is especially important in recovery to help us live our most authentic, true selves. You are not alone in this feeling and there are many reasons why we get stuck in these cycles.

My own story and life experiences help me better relate to those working through relational brokenness, finding and/or retaining one’s identity in the midst of big life-transitions, and living and relating as a str anger in a strange land.
We may not be able to control our circumstances, but we can control what we do with our circumstances. Sometimes we are handed or inherit a difficult lot in life, and the idea of navigating this lot can leave us feeling hopeless and powerless. I firmly believe we are not without hope because we will always have the power to choose how we respond to our adverse circumstances. I have a deep sense of compassion and intrigue for the human soul, a yearning to discover an individual’s story, and a desire to build a warm, empathic, safe, and authentic alliance with my clients.
