You deserve to feel seen, safe & supported.

Trauma-Informed, Culturally Sensitive Therapy for BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ Individuals & Couples

About

Welcome! I'm Porcha - Therapist, Advocate, and Your Biggest Cheerleader

I’m so glad you’re here!

​

I’m a Calgary-based therapist dedicated to providing trauma-informed, culturally sensitive care for BIPOC (which stands for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), LGBTQIA2S+, and neurodiverse clients across Canada—supporting you to heal, grow, and show up fully as your authentic self. My work centers folks who are navigating big feelings, complex histories, and layered identities—especially those who rarely see themselves reflected in traditional spaces of care.

​

I help people reclaim their voice, unpack trauma with tenderness, and rebuild self-trust on their own terms. Whether you’re working through burnout, identity struggles, grief, relationships, or just feeling disconnected from yourself, you deserve a space where you are seen, heard, and truly understood.

​

Rooted in a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and strength-based approach, my practice honors every part of who you are—your roots, your resilience, and your becoming.


This is therapy that sees you.

​

If you're ready to feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you on your journey.

Reclaim your voice & self-worth

​​Whether you’ve felt silenced by trauma, culture, or circumstance, your voice matters. In therapy, you’ll find a supportive, brave space to speak your truth, set boundaries, and rebuild your confidence. You’ll discover the power of owning your story on your terms.​​​​​​​​​​​​

Heal trauma with care & clarity

Trauma isn’t just about the past—it shapes how you feel, think, and connect today. Using trauma-informed, gentle approaches, we’ll unravel painful experiences at a pace that feels right for you. You’ll gain tools to soothe your nervous system, release shame, and build resilience.

Navigate intersectional identities with confidence

Your identity is complex and beautiful—shaped by race, culture, gender, sexuality, and more. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive care that honours the fullness of who you are. Together, we’ll explore how your unique experiences affect your mental health and empower you to live authentically.

Build healthy relationships grounded in authenticity

Relationships can be healing or challenging. Whether you’re seeking to strengthen partnerships or improve family and community ties, we’ll work on communication, trust, and self-awareness so you can connect deeply and authentically.​​​​​​​​​​​​

My approach is trauma-informed, strength-based, and culturally attuned—designed to honour both who you are right now and the person you’re becoming. Every step is led by your needs, your pace, and your healing journey.

Why This Matters

I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients both in-person and virtually here in Calgary, and virtually across Canada. This wide reach means I’ve witnessed the resilience and brilliance of diverse communities navigating complex challenges—especially BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, and neurodiverse individuals.

​

This work requires more than just clinical tools; it demands heartfelt presence, deep cultural humility, and a commitment to intersectional justice. I bring all of that to every session.

​

I use integrative and evidence-based methods—from narrative therapy that helps rewrite your story, to somatic techniques that reconnect you with your body, to attachment-focused and strength-based approaches that build lasting change.

​

Clients often tell me:

​

"Thank you for seeing me, hearing me, and understanding me at my core."

​

This kind of validation is at the heart of the work I do.
