WHY I BECAME A THERAPIST

From a young age I felt lost in a world that could not see or hear a voice that yearned to roar loudly. In a world that continues to move at a fast pace, I felt a void of being able “to be.” I quickly discovered my power to vastly feel, show up and be present for those around me. I learned to value presence and play.

My hope is to curate a sense of safety, and inclusivity where you can be heard and seen for your authentic self. I truly feel each person has their own deeper purpose to discover. I feel honoured to hold space and embark on this journey.
