MyApproach to Therapy
No matter where you are on your journey or what challenges you're facing, you are welcome here—exactly as you are. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood, with trust, authenticity, and cultural understanding at the core of my approach. Through curiosity, collaboration, and a touch of humour (because therapy shouldn't feel so heavy all the time!), I aim to support you in a way that honours both who you are now and who you're becoming.
​
My practice is rooted in an anti-oppressive, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and intersectional lens. I am deeply committed to working with individuals from all walks of life, with a particular passion for supporting Racialized and LGBTQIA2S+ communities. I take a holistic approach to mental wellness, recognizing the deep connection between mind, body, culture, relationships, and identity. By drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities, I tailor each session to fit your unique needs and goals.
​
At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in relationships. I take the time to truly understand your story, creating an inclusive, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, cultural identity, relationships, or other challenges, I’m here to walk alongside you.
​
I offer in-person and virtual therapy sessions for individuals in Calgary, Alberta. As a Canadian Certified Counsellor, I also provide virtual therapy to clients across Canada, and as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I am happy to offer virtual sessions to individuals residing in Ontario.

My Story
I’ve always been passionate about understanding people and the world around me. I earned my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Winnipeg, double majoring in Human Rights & Global Studies and Religion & Culture. At the time, I imagined myself working in human rights advocacy, academia, or law. But after graduating in 2013, I found myself feeling lost—struggling to find a fulfilling career while silently battling my mental health.
​
A year and a half later, I took a leap and moved to Edmonton, Alberta, for a fresh start. I built a successful career in commercial real estate, but deep down, I knew it wasn’t my true calling. In 2019, I made the brave decision to pursue my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, graduating in 2022 in the midst of a global pandemic. By March 2023, I officially launched my private practice—and I haven’t looked back since!
​
With over 15 years of experience across various industries, including restaurant, retail, human resources, and customer service, I bring a unique and well-rounded perspective to my work as a therapist. As a second-generation Jamaican-Canadian Black woman, I understand firsthand the stigma around mental health in Racialized communities and the challenges of navigating multiple social identities. My passion lies in supporting the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) community, offering a space where individuals feel truly seen, heard, and supported—without judgment.
​
In addition to working with individuals and couples, I also offer group therapy sessions on topics like racial identity, cultural competency, and self-empowerment. These sessions provide a supportive space to explore important themes, connect with others, and grow together.
​
At the core of my work is a deep belief in the power of love, compassion, and healing. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are, honor your lived experiences, and support you in your journey toward healing and growth, I invite you to connect with me.
​
Your mental health matters. Your story matters. You are worthy and deserving of support.
