My practice is grounded in an anti-oppressive approach to healing, enriched by specific training in Perinatal Mental Health, Grief and Loss, Internal Family Systems, Radical Mental Health First Aid, and Somatic Healing. While I have training in many Western healing modalities, my focus is on cross-cultural theories such as Black Feminist Thought, Disability Justice, honouring Indigenous Ways of Knowing, and Structural Theories. I believe that true healing requires a holistic and culturally respectful approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of mental, physical, emotional, and soulful well-being.
