A space for healing to begin
A space for healing to begin
"When we acknowledge where we come from and begin to understand ourselves — that is where healing begins and meaningful change takes root."
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MA, RP(Q)
For as long as I can remember, I have been deeply curious about human behavior, often wondering what lies beneath people's emotions, reactions, and choices. Throughout my life, I have naturally found myself listening, comforting, and encouraging others, whether friends or strangers.
My own experiences with loss — the end of relationships, dreams that did not unfold as hoped, and the death of loved ones — have deeply shaped who I am today. These experiences strengthened my understanding of grief, vulnerability, and emotional resilience, which, together with my professional training, guide the way I approach therapy.
Beyond the clinical setting, I am actively engaged in the Black community, working to help break the stigma surrounding mental health. I initiate courageous conversations, create safe spaces, and collaborate with community networks to support collective healing rooted in dignity and belonging.
Joy & Personal Life
Outside of my work, I enjoy connecting with loved ones, reading, writing, and drinking copious cups of tea. My spare time often includes shared meals and good laughter with family and friends. I try to move through each day with intention — making space for exercise, journaling, rest, and prayer.

Visible or invisible, pain deserves understanding and care.
Sometimes the source is clear. A single moment or a series of traumatic experiences can deeply affect us — an accident, the loss of someone we love, or experiences of sexual, emotional, or physical abuse. These events can shake our sense of safety and change the way we see ourselves and the world around us.
Other times, pain develops more quietly. It can come from repeated moments that slowly wear us down — neglect, bullying, rejection, relationship struggles, financial stress, illness, or loss. To others, these experiences may seem less visible, yet their impact can be just as deep and life-altering.
I believe that the relationship we build together and the tools we explore can be a powerful force for healing, self-discovery, and transformation. It's an honour to walk alongside you in this process.
A warm, caring space to explore your inner world, relationships, and emotional challenges — at your own pace.
By creating a safe space, individual therapy provides a warm and caring environment where we can explore your inner world, relationships, and emotional challenges that are affecting you in your everyday life.
I take a relational psychodynamic and trauma-informed approach, integrating other therapeutic modalities to create a holistic treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and experiences.
