There is nothing you can endure, or do, that places you beyond human dignity, love and care.

Take a pause from the trance of everyday life to slow down and gently explore what is alive for you, and what is calling for attention. As we become curious and let go of judgment, space opens up for the complexity and multiple truths that can coexist within you. You may find that giving yourself this kind, creative space frees up energy and life force that has been locked in inner conflict.

I am especially drawn to work with people who are unsettled, stuck, struggling in their relationships or struggling with unresolved aspects of themselves. We will work to help you feel at home with yourself and in your world.

Being a Black therapist, longtime meditation practitioner and having lived in several cultures, my lived experiences developed my ability to honour people’s unique cultural contexts, histories and unique life paths.

I see healing as an ongoing process of gradually expanding our capacity to meet life’s challenges with greater understanding, flexibility, and self-compassion. We’ll work toward meaningful, lasting changes that continue to support you long after our time together.

My friends say I am...
genuinely present, thoughtful and easy to open up to
What I think really helps people is...
extending compassion to ourselves
In my spare time I...
swim, take long runs along the lake, play with colour and texture in tapestry weaving
