YOU define you…
you are not defined by the way the world sees you…

I aim to make mental health services feel less intimidating, particularly for those who have either never been in therapy, are therapists themselves and fear being judged, or haven’t found the right therapist for them. I consider myself a therapist who is working on decolonizing therapy for many reasons but one way is by how I interact with clients- you will likely see me laugh, cuss, cry, or all of the above while in session; I recognize that I may not be the right fit for all clients thus would be happy to provide a free 20min phone consultation to answer any of your questions. I also recognize that not all clients will fit a Eurocentric* box thus provide therapy that is catered to your own needs and takes into account several factors of your life. I also strive to make the therapy room a safe place where culture and traditions meet exploration and healing.
I specialize in:
Impostor Phenomenon (Syndrome)
This phenomenon happens amongst high achievers, no matter where they are in your professional life. It is when one experiences an inability to believe their success is deserved. When one believes that their success was a direct response to “luck”, “being at the right place at the right time”, deceiving others, is due to other’s help, etc. Where one does not give themselves the credit they deserve and thus have this fear of being found a “fraud” or “not belonging” in those spaces.

Some of the services I offer are:
connect with yourself.
It all begins with you. If you work on yourself, the world feels easier to navigate- less heavy. Don’t carry the load on your own, allow me to help guide you to a less-stressed version of yourself, one that loves and honors you, one that makes time to show up for you. Make the leap!
