Our Therapists

“Emotions are the music of the dance between people.” – Sue Johnson

Do you ever find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships, struggling to express what you truly feel, or carrying emotional wounds that seem difficult to understand? Sometimes, the ways we've learned to protect ourselves can also make it harder to feel connected, understood, and authentic in our relationships.

I believe that our emotions offer valuable insight into our deepest needs, fears, and desires. In counselling, I strive to create a safe, nurturing, non-judgmental environment where you can explore all parts of yourself, including those you may have learned to hide, silence, or protect. To heal is to discover parts of yourself that aren’t just one form, label, or version of who you are or how you should be in this world. My approach is to welcome all of it: the hurt, the pain, the tears, and laughter along the way.

Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help you understand the emotions beneath your reactions, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and find new ways to express your needs and connect with others. Together, we can make space for vulnerability, self-compassion, and meaningful emotional change.

“It wasn’t just generational trauma that got stored in our blood and passed along, but our resilience and language too.” – Angeline Boulley

I am also passionate about exploring intergenerational trauma and family patterns. The experiences of our parents, caregivers, and earlier generations can shape how we understand ourselves, navigate conflict, and form relationships. By exploring these influences, we can begin to distinguish between patterns that once helped us survive and those that may no longer serve us.

Healing does not mean rejecting your family, culture, or history. It means developing a deeper understanding of where you come from while discovering the freedom to choose how you want to move forward.

I developed foundations of empathy and understanding interpersonal conflicts through my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Brock University in Ontario. I also learned about multicultural counselling, trauma-informed approaches, and sex therapy. I am currently aiming to acquire more therapeutic and relational skills within couples and family therapy in my Master’s program for Counselling Psychology at Adler University.

I grew up in Ontario, where I lived in many different cities and small towns. I come from a Caribbean background where the culture is very diverse and mixed up. I have immigrant parents; my family is Jamaican-Syrian, and the other side is Trinidadian-Chinese (Hakka Chinese).

When I’m not in the counselling room, I’m still a friendly and warm person who continues to care for others, yet tries to balance the complexities of life and the joy of creativity in this colourful world through creative writing. I’m also learning how to integrate more breathwork and somatic approaches into my routine since I joined the start-up team of Adler’s Breathwork and Somatics Student Association on campus.

Personally, I can be quite animated and quirky, so if you find yourself being called “weird,” I welcome all of that energy here! I hope to start learning how to play the piano one day and become musically inclined, but for now I remain off-key. I also like to take pictures of fancy-looking drinks, make smoothie bowls, and watch cooking competition shows...because I’m still human at the end of the day.
