About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I believe everybody deserves therapy, especially if you are Black, a person of Colour, disabled, and identify as LGBTQIA+. And even more so if you hold those identities intersectionally. We can work together to raise an unconscious process into conscious awareness within a strong, trusting, and safe therapeutic relationship.

I work from an integrative perspective because I believe no two humans are the same; therefore, one therapeutic approach cannot work for all. I work with my clients nonjudgmentally and empathically, not assuming anything about their experiences. I help them find meaning while co-creating a safe space.

I have extensive experience working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, members of the Global Majority and neurodiverse individuals. I have experience working with complex trauma, anxiety, depression, domestic abuse, childhood trauma and sexual abuse, gender and sexual identity, transphobia, homophobia, inter and trans-generational trauma, racism, cultural and religious oppression, and living with disability and long-term/ chronic illnesses.

I have worked as an integrative counsellor and therapist for 3 years in various counselling services, including CliniQ, Mind community services and private practice.

Experience and approach:

I work from an integrative perspective based on a trauma-informed and relational approach. I am trained and have extensive experience working with GSRD clients. From an existential perspective, I work with my clients non-judgementally and empathically, not assuming anything about their experiences while making space for them to find their life meaning.

From a psychoanalytic and humanistic perspective, I use attachment theory to understand how my clients’ early trauma may have affected their relationships with others. The therapeutic relationship is important for modelling healthy and secure attachments in the here-and-now.

From a transpersonal and embodied perspective, I like to work as two human bodies in a room, carrying generations of life experience and oppression. I am also a published writer who uses poetry and prose as a form of expression and narrative therapy.
