What It's Like To Work With Me
No matter where you are on your journey or what challenges you're facing, you're welcome here—exactly as you are. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood, with trust, authenticity, and cultural awareness at the core of my approach. Through curiosity, collaboration, and a touch of humour (because therapy doesn’t always have to feel so heavy!), I aim to support you in a way that honours both who you are now and who you're becoming.
​
My practice is rooted in an anti-oppressive, strength-based, trauma-informed, and intersectional lens. I’m deeply committed to working with individuals from all walks of life, with a particular passion for supporting Racialized and LGBTQIA2S+ communities. I take a holistic approach to mental wellness, recognizing the deep connection between mind, body, identity, relationships, and culture. Drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities, I tailor each session to meet your unique needs and goals.
​
At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in relationships. I take the time to truly understand your story, creating a supportive, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, cultural identity, relationships, or other challenges, I’m here to walk alongside you.
​
I offer in-person and virtual therapy for individuals in Calgary, Alberta. As a Canadian Certified Counsellor, I also provide virtual therapy across Canada. And as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I’m pleased to offer virtual sessions to residents of Ontario.

My Story
I’ve always been passionate about understanding people and the world around me. I earned my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Winnipeg, double majoring in Human Rights & Global Studies and Religion & Culture. At the time, I envisioned a career in human rights advocacy, academia, or law. But after graduating in 2013, I found myself feeling lost—struggling to find a fulfilling path while quietly battling my own mental health challenges.
​
A year and a half later, I took a leap of faith and moved to Edmonton, Alberta, for a fresh start. I built a successful career in commercial real estate, but deep down, I knew it wasn’t my true calling. In 2019, I made the decision to pursue a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, graduating in 2022—in the middle of a global pandemic. By March 2023, I officially launched my private practice—and I haven’t looked back since.
​
​While I chose to leave real estate behind, my love for organization, systems, and admin work remains strong. I still find joy in the behind-the-scenes details that help things run smoothly—skills that now support the heart of my private practice.
​
With over 15 years of experience across industries like hospitality, retail, HR, and customer service, I bring a unique, well-rounded lens to therapy. As a second-generation Jamaican-Canadian Black woman, I understand the stigma surrounding mental health in Racialized communities, and the complexity of navigating multiple social identities. My passion lies in supporting the BIPOC community, offering a space where people feel truly seen, heard, and supported—without judgment.
​
In addition to individual and couples therapy, I also facilitate group sessions on topics like racial identity, cultural competency, and self-empowerment. These spaces offer connection, reflection, and collective growth.
​
At the core of my work is a deep belief in the power of love, compassion, and healing. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are, honour your story, and walk with you through the ups and downs of healing—I’d be honoured to connect with you.
​
Your mental health matters. Your story matters. You are worthy and deserving of support.

-
Before becoming a therapist, I spent 10 years working in commercial real estate—doing admin and marketing for an industrial division of a large global company.
-
I’m a lover of all things beauty. I worked at MAC Cosmetics for 2 years, and to this day, it’s still one of my favourite jobs I’ve ever had. (Getting paid to play with makeup all day?! YES PLEASE)

-
I love traveling & spontaneous road trips
