About me

Life is not meant to be carried alone. When we walk together, even the heaviest parts can begin to feel more possible.

You may be seeking therapy because something feels off — numbness, overwhelm, grief, anxiety, depression, or neurodivergence. You may be used to handling things on your own, unsure about reaching out. If that’s where you are, you’re not alone.

My work is relational and grounded in deep listening. I care about who you are, where you come from, and how your experiences have shaped you. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that helped you survive and consider what might help you live with more ease and connection now.

At your pace, we can make sense of what feels hard to name, including parts of the past that still echo in the present. I will be there with you — steady and compassionate.

My background in anthropology and my work with youth, higher education, and immigration advocacy inform my commitment to equity and inclusion. As an immigrant and Afro-Brazilian who has navigated spaces where I was unsure I belonged, I understand the realities of identity, belonging, and power. I aim to create a space that is affirming and aware of the systems that shape our lives.

Therapy has been part of my own journey. It has taught me that growth is not linear and that healing happens in relationship.

You deserve a space where all parts of you are welcome.

How We'll Work Together

Clear expectations help create a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship

Scheduling and Flexibility

• In order to avoid paying the full session fee, I require 48 hours' notice for all cancelled appointments.
• The online sessions will take place through a video-conference platform or telephone if the client(s) prefers. For the success of an online session, reliable internet is recommended.
• Before your first session, a client(s) intake form will be shared with the client.
• My preferred form of communication is through e-mail, but happy to accommodate clients’ needs. I often work late, and you may see late e-mails from me. If this brings you discomfort or anxiety, please let me know.

Payment and Practical Matters

• Payments can be made through e-transfer, bank deposit, cheques, credit card, debit or Paypal. Please note that credit and debit options are powered through the PayPal platform.
• Payments are due before or at the session.
• A 24-hour grace period is automatically applied after the session.
• If you require particular financial arrangements, I will be happy to discuss them with you.

A Note About Our Work Together

Yes, therapy can feel weird, fun, challenging, confusing, and so many things. We can talk about all that. Give yourself the permission and time to engage in such. In a hurried world, therapy often asks us to slow down.
