“Imperfection is not our personal problem – it is a natural part of existing” – Tara Brach. In a society where certain kinds of perfection are celebrated and imperfections are not tolerated, we experience shame, self-blame, isolation, hopelessness, and ultimately a toxic relationship with ourselves. Breaking free from these patterns is not a journey you must go through alone. I aim to help people embrace the whole of life – including imperfections – through radical self-acceptance and self-compassion. I am inspired by your willingness to explore and change. It can be vulnerable to share your thoughts, feelings and emotions, but I will work to help you feel safe, respected and understood. Through a non-judgmental approach, I will gently help you grow your relationship with yourself and feel empowered by your personal challenges. Focus Areas: I have worked extensively with refugees, newcomers, and immigrant populations, along with supporting youth and adults going through various forms of stress including depression, anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem challenges and identity exploration. I aim to cultivate an environment where you feel seen, heard, and unconditionally accepted for who you are.
