A bit about me!
“Grace is the essence which we can expand, to meet all the doubts & fears that keep us stuck.”
Embracing the truth of who we are!
My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by resilience, perseverance, and a deep commitment to healing.
Becoming a mother at a young age, I navigated parenting while still making sense of my own upbringing. My mother’s absence after my parents' divorce left a mark that shaped me, leading to a strong sense of independence but also a tendency to keep others at a distance. The impacted of loss, physical abuse and alcoholism heavily weighed on the previous generations of my family system. Over time, I learned that healing isn’t about erasing the past but understanding it, holding it with compassion, and choosing a different way forward.
For 15 years, my focus was on my family, raising my children and my commitment to heal, driven by a deep desire to not repeat the patterns of my family system. Anxiety and some pretty powerful limiting beliefs were a daily struggle at times. When that chapter ended, a new fear set in—But fear, like grief, has something to teach us if we let it.
I also recognized it as an opportunity. It was then that I fully embraced the calling I had felt since I was a teenager, to sit with others in their emotions, witness their truth, and help them reconnect with their true-selves.
Alongside my path to becoming a therapist, I built a career as a barber. Having been raised in a household with my dad and younger brother after the age of 11, the ability to connecting and building rapport with men always felt comfortable for me. From behind the barber chair, I experienced firsthand the power of conversation and connection, the way people open up when they feel safe, heard, and accepted. We all long to be seen and understood without judgment.
This is the space I offer.
I am a creator…adventurer…explorer…space holder…singer…barber…mother…among many other things.
I bring the real, the raw, the perfectly imperfect self to my world. I will support you to do the same. I have a passion for digging in, exploring and unveiling the truth of who people are. I retrieve these truths by genuinely and compassionately holding space and supporting people through their big feels. I’ve learned to not be afraid or consumed by them, but rather to use them as a valuable tool in learning how to love and accept myself, in understanding and discovering who I truly am.
Our feelings direct us to the parts of ourselves that need our love the most.
We cannot change or control the things that happen in life; however we can shift what we believe about ourselves and the world around us. My story is a series of events, a magnificently designed journey of self-discovery, acceptance and learning to love all my parts. The big picture being a wildly beautiful portrait of fear and joy…loss and trust…grief and gentleness…abandonment and forgiveness…rejection and acceptance…pain and humour…and genuine self love.
I would be honoured to support you on your journey. You don’t have to walk this road alone. Whether you are navigating loss, trauma, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I am here—to listen, to hold space, to help you rediscover the parts of yourself that are waiting to be seen. Through connection we can lovingly foster a new experience of yourself and the world around you.
