Areas of Selected Focus:

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Understanding the profound impact of trauma on one’s mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, my approach to trauma therapy weaves together therapeutic techniques that emphasize the integration of mind, body, and spirit, including Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and parts-work.

Rather than solely discussing traumatic memories, we actively engage with them through emotional and somatic (body-based) techniques. This approach helps transform their emotional and physical impact, enabling you to live more fully in the present. I aim to facilitate a process that not only avoids re-traumatization but also builds on the inner resources you already hold.

    • Intergenerational Trauma.

    • Attachment trauma.

    • Secondary or Vicarious trauma (first responders, helpers).

    • Developmental and Childhood Trauma.

    • Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD).

    • PTSD.

    • Racial and Systemic Trauma.

    • Sexual assault/ sexualized violence/ Childhood sexual abuse.

    • Religious trauma/issues

    • Chronic feelings of emptiness.

    • Dissociation.

    • Identity issues.

    • Somatization (i.e headaches, chronic pain, chronic fatigue that have no clear medical cause).

    • Hypervigilance (constantly feeling “on edge” or afraid).

    • Feelings of shame, worthlessness, or disgust.

    • Difficulty trusting others.

    • Depression.

    • Anxiety.

Support for People of the Global Majority

As a Black bi-racial woman, I cherish the privilege of witnessing and supporting People of the Global Majority (BIPoC folks) as they heal and thrive. I acknowledge the profound impact of colonialism, racial and systemic trauma, and interlocking oppressive forces on our well-being. However, I also understand that the experiences of People of the Global Majority are not solely defined by suffering and oppression.

Our lives, while shaped in part by these challenges, encompass a far richer, complex, and more diverse set of experiences. Inspired by the strength and resilience inherent in our communities, I am committed to a therapeutic approach that recognizes and honours our full humanity. In therapy, we acknowledge these adversities but also celebrate our collective resilience, ancestral wisdom, and reclaim the immense potential for joy, pleasure, and fulfillment in our lives.

    • Microaggressions.

    • Imposter syndrome.

    • Internalized racism/shame.

    • Biracial/multi-racial identity.

    • Light-skin privilege.

    • Colourism.

    • Intergenerational/ systemic trauma from colonization and enslavement.

    • Code-switching.

    • Navigating predominantly white spaces.

    • Righteous rage.

Neurodiversity Affirming Therapy

As someone diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, I understand living with ADHD – the challenges and the gifts alike. Rather than focusing on symptom management, I prioritize experiential healing and self-discovery that embraces your unique experiences living with ADHD. Together we can tend to the ways you may have masked or suppressed aspects of yourself to feel safe, be accepted, or just to manage daily life.

    • Imposter syndrome.

    • Perfectionism.

    • Dysregulated nervous system.

    • Difficulties with emotion regulation.

    • Masking.

    • Burnout.
