I celebrate and affirm the diverse identities and experiences of my clients. i share a love for all people regardless of ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, gender, size, physical and cognitive ability, religion/spirituality, and socioeconomic status. Diversity enriches community and i am committed to appreciating and championing the dignity and worth of each person i have the honour of holding space for. Valuing diversity also means ensuring that i do everything in my power to make you feel seen, safe, and valued in your therapeutic work with me.

I understand that each person I work with, lives within the wider context of our communities and cultures. Our society has been built on the oppression of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and upholds intersecting forms of oppression that affect each of us differently. I recognize the traumatic impact of discrimination, oppression, and exploitation in any form it may take, including micro-aggressions, invisibility, increased experiences of violence, challenges to economic stability and mobility, decreased autonomy, as well as internalized oppression and post-traumatic stress. One of our core values is social justice and this means I am committed to working against all systems of oppression. 

I strive to create a safe space where those who entrust me with their stories can feel comfortable exploring the importance of their identities and life experiences with regard to diversity and how this relates to their therapeutic goals.
