About Me

Do you feel like you’re constantly negotiating your own identity amongst challenges and responsibilities in your life? From defining your role as a parent or a partner, to living within a multi-generational/multi-family home, relationships can become a source of ongoing stress.Unexpected changes such as a health crisis or separation can send you into a world of healthcare or social programs that can make you feel overwhelmed.As someone who identifies as BIPOC, and who lives with a chronic illness, I have lived experience in negotiating these worlds. I invite you to work with me to develop strategies to help you cope, heal and grow. My practice offers you a culturally conscious space where we can work together on improving your sense of self, and your relationships with others. I can work with you to build on your inner strengths, heal from your pain, and begin to move forward in your life with a clearer vision of the life you desire to create. With support, you can begin to feel energized about your own ability to define who you are based on your own inner wisdom. By learning new responses to the challenges of life, you’ll gain the strength to rise each time you fall. Visit my website and book a call with me to find out how we can work towards building your confidence to be you!
