Many of the struggles that bring people to therapy - anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship difficulties - aren't just habits to change. They're adaptive responses to early attachment wounds, cultural pressures, and relational experiences that shaped how you learned to survive.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) specializing in trauma-informed and attachment-based therapy, I works with individuals who are ready to understand the deeper roots of their patterns, not just manage the symptoms. My approach integrates nervous system regulation, emotional exploration, and practical tools that support change beyond the therapy room.
I support BIPOC individuals, immigrants, and clients navigating intergenerational trauma, identity, belonging, and the weight of family and cultural expectations.
