A Master’s level Registered Social Worker whose primary goal is to provide a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental and safe space for clients to feel welcome, heard, respected, understood and supported. I specialize in working with Teens, Adults and Families of diverse cultures and identities to navigate and cope with various challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress management, burnout, self-care, personal growth, parenting, grief & loss, trauma and other life transitions.

Sometimes life encounters can be overwhelming for one to go through on one’s own and I am here for you. Thus, a client-centered approach is a key component of my practice as I believe each client’s journey is unique. My compassionate, authentic and empathetic nature allows me to foster a therapeutic interpersonal relationship and lays a foundation of trust to truly work alongside clients as experts of their lives. Once empowered, one would be able to process thoughts, traumatic experiences, develop a better understanding and establish pathways towards healing, resilience and growth.

Drawing from a diverse array of educational, career and life experiences, I utilize a blend of modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Informed Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Strength-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Culturally Sensitive Therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy, Anti-Oppressive Approach, just to mention a few. These enable me to support clients acknowledge the various contexts that impact their lives, combine insights with action, connect with their strengths and adjust to new ways to live in wholeness.

These words may sound familiar: man up, tough up, don’t be a (fill in the gap), and so many other phrases hurled at men experiencing mental health challenges or who feel stuck in their lives. Or maybe as a woman you have been told to just get over it and move on, or being put in a box and undervalued. Having the lived experiences of having to counter those stereotypical worldview of how people should express themselves or navigate life’s challenges, I totally get it. While my lived experiences are from a male perspective, many women also find value in my work and skills, and that is why I pride myself in being a Certified Life Coach who not only has the experience of overcoming society’s imposed definition of how we should cope during times of distress, but also the silent suffering that accompanies our pain.

Often times our behavioural response of shutting down, reacting, turning to substances or even directing our attention to varied activities to fill our mind is interpreted as lack of interest, laziness, among other pathologizing labels. As a life coach, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to move forward in life by reconciling with whatever in the past holds them hostage. I recognize the need for holistic healing and growth by reframing past experiences with empowering thoughts where clients transcend to seeing themselves as limitless.

While one of my specialties is in destigmatizing black, especially male, mental health problems, I also help both male and female clients to examine any relationship and career problems by providing the platform to share and receive insights into the available resources and skills to help with the restoration of dignity, pride, self-belief and self-worth, and the inalienable right to freely express oneself without judgement.

I pride myself in having requisite skills and expertise to support you on your journey; however, I never establish myself as the expert in the life of my clients. Your uniqueness will be honoured and valued as we tackle the challenges that have held or continues to hold you hostage. In so doing, my role is to help you become LESS critical of yourself and MORE aware of the societal and self-imposed limitations in order to transcend victimhood and emerge empowered to tackle life’s challenges head-on…and WIN!

If this sounds like what you have been looking for, book your free consultation with me today and let’s get started.
