Therapy That Sees All of You.
A Justice-Centred, Relational Approach to Therapy for Individuals
What does it mean to build a life of stability, security, autonomy, connection, and care for ourselves?
How do we cultivate safety, love and connection if we haven’t experienced them before?
How do we rebuild trust after experiences that have disrupted our sense of safety?
How do we learn to recognize our needs, set boundaries, and make choices that honour ourselves?
How do we lessen self-criticism and shame to cultivate a kinder relationship with ourselves?
How does trauma shape us, and how can we move beyond survival mode?
How do we heal from experiences of bullying, discrimination, racism, and rejection?
How do we create a meaningful life after surviving war, historical trauma, violence, or abuse?
How do we honour our intergenerational roots, while creating a life that feels authentically our own?
How do we move from simply surviving toward a life that feels connected, purposeful, and our own?
How do we find belonging when part of our identity haven’t been affirmed or accepted?
These are questions (and more!) we may explore together, in therapy.
What Might Bring You to Therapy?
There are many reasons why people seek out therapy. Sometimes life leaves us feeling fearful, isolated, alone, uncertain, confused, sad, detached, rejected, destabilized, harmed or emotionally hurt.
Some of the people I work with express experiencing:
Questions of identity, belonging and connection related to race, ethnicity or culture
Difficulty navigating cross-cultural communication and intercultural relationships
A desire to explore biracial or multiracial identity
Emotional harm after experiencing racism or discrimination
Racial or oppression-based trauma
Difficulties with code-switching and belonging as an international student
Rejection from family or community related to gender identity or sexual orientation
Concerns related to power and control in relationships or families
Harm related to intimate partner violence or domestic violence
Difficulty setting boundaries or advocating for your needs
Grief connected to singular or persistent traumatic events
Developmental and attachment-based trauma
Grief after the loss of a loved one or pet
Fear, panic and anxiety
Shame and self-criticism
Numbness, disconnection, isolation, loneliness and depression
Feeling stuck through life transitions and uncertainty
Challenges with body image and body dysmorphia
Body-based experiences like heart-racing, jaw clenching or feeling disconnected from your body.
How We Might Work Together
Together we explore what matters to you, what you’re hoping to change, and what you’d like to experience differently. We’ll consider the whole picture of your life - including your family, relationships, cultures and systems that shape your experiences.

Fees:
Individual psychotherapy sessions are $175 for 50 minutes.
I encourage you to book a free 20-minute consultation to explore whether we might be a good fit.
Equity Based Fees: I believe access to psychotherapy should not be determined solely by income. A limited number of reduced-fee sessions are available each month for clients who may experience cost as a barrier to accessing therapy. These fees are offered on an equity basis, taking into account individual circumstances and financial capacity. Please visit my contact page for further details.
