About Me
Choosing a therapist who you truly connect with can be overwhelming. Here are a few things I’d like you to know as you consider whether we might be a good fit.
I deeply value kindness, authenticity, and honesty, both personally and professionally. In the therapy room I show up as my true self, with the hope that you’ll feel comfortable doing the same. My approach is informal and expressive, and I believe that humor can be a powerful tool in the healing process.
Having been both a client and a therapist, I understand the importance of having a space where you can be vulnerable — especially in ways that society may not always allow, particularly for Black women. I feel honoured to create that space for my clients.
Therapy, to me, is a partnership. I’m here to support you, gently challenge you, and help you identify and implement the changes you wish to make in your life.
Professional Background
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and English from the University of Texas at Austin and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Before starting my private practice, I worked at a non-profit providing counselling to survivors of sexual violence. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO #12153).
I came to psychotherapy as a second career after spending 8.5 years in the education technology field. My personal journey through burnout and the challenges of showing up authentically as a Black woman in a corporate environment fueled my passion for supporting other racialized individuals facing similar struggles.
Outside the Therapy Room
In my free time, I enjoy sewing, knitting, and experimenting with new recipes. After a long day, you’ll likely find me relaxing on the couch watching reality TV (The Great British Bake Off is my go-to comfort show). I’m also a serial hobby collector — my latest interests include pottery and gardening (though the jury’s still out on whether I have a green thumb).
