My approach is experiential, somatic, and depth-oriented, with AEDP at the heart of my work. Rather than only talking about what happened, we pay attention to what is happening in you as you talk about it: the emotions that emerge, what your body and nervous system are doing, and the ways you’ve learned to protect yourself.
I’m an active therapist, which means I’ll often slow you down, interrupt the story, and help us stay with something important rather than talk past it.
I’m also interested in the larger context in which our patterns develop. Family, culture, migration, belonging, and the expectations placed on us can profoundly shape who we learn to be. For racialized clients in particular, there can be a complicated tension between honouring where we come from and questioning the roles, values, or ways of living we inherited. Therapy can make room for that complexity without assuming that growth requires rejecting your culture or family.
My work also draws from somatic, transpersonal, and depth-oriented approaches, particularly when words alone feel insufficient. Depending on what matters to you, our work may include dreams, imagination, creativity, spirituality, or questions of identity and meaning.
My style is warm, curious, direct, and engaged. I bring honesty and humour into the room, and I’m interested not only in what hurts, but in what becomes possible as healing happens: greater freedom, connection, creativity, pleasure, and a fuller sense of being alive.
