Like the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into the butterfly, finding my voice and sharing my story has caused me to undergo a complete transformation. Due to my own experiences of trauma and discrimination, I am passionate about helping people from all walks of life heal from their wounds. The systemic power imbalances in society cause many people to accept injustice, to have their voices be silenced and to accept blame for wrongs committed by others. Whether it is painful childhood memories, one or more major events, relationships, or a series of micro-traumas, untreated trauma causes changes in the brain and body. This shapes us in subtle ways, many of which are deeply unconscious and affect our self-worth and behaviour. Through a process of self-discovery and exploration, I re-authored a more empowering life narrative. The stories we tell, define our lives in our own eyes and in the eyes of others. I aim to help you break free from the thought patterns that cause you to experience the same types of situations, events and people in your life. Different narratives lead to different future experiences.
"She never seemed shattered; to me, she was a breathtaking mosaic of the battles she’s won."

The first step in healing is recognition that your past experiences may be influencing you in this moment in ways that you may not even understand. What self-limiting beliefs have you incorporated into your story? I commend your courage in seeking a guide to begin your own metamorphosis. Regardless of what happened to you in the past, it is never too late start the healing process; to find your voice and express your truth. It is possible for you to obtain a new lease on life and to embrace a future filled with things that have seemed out of reach.
I believe that each person has all the wisdom they need to heal buried deep within themselves. It is my role to create a safe and confidential space for you to re-discover your values, needs, wishes and desires. You may discover hidden parts of yourself as you talk openly and honestly without fear of judgement. This new self-awareness may cause you to change the way you approach life.
Psychotherapy is expensive and there are so many people who are unable to afford much needed professional assistance. Increasing accessibility to mental health services is my mission and social justice forms a strong part of my practice. I am firmly committed to ensuring that all Canadians receive access to professional therapy during the most difficult times in their lives. Please see my services page for further details regarding affordable therapy.
