My core value is authenticity. Here is a raw glimpse into who I am-

My path to this work has been anything but traditional, shaped by years working late nights in hospitality, time spent as a freelance creative, and a deep love for Toronto’s music scene and counterculture communities. I witnessed firsthand the gaps in accessible and affordable mental health support for us, which led me to pursue social work as a way to bridge that divide.

I’m a lover of nature and the quiet magic the earth offers, rooted, wild, and ever-changing. You’ll find me collecting oddities and antiques, getting lost in books, adoring my cat and steeping tea from my little apothecary like a small daily ritual. I’m a warm, steady presence: a sober companion and fellow traveller, here to help you listen inward, tend what’s tender, and find your way back to yourself.

For most of my life, I hid my truths, carefully protecting my story and only offering pieces of it to a trusted few. I know the weight of living a double life shaped by shame, fear, and guilt. But there comes a time when we’re ready to stop carrying what was never ours to hold. I’m here to help you speak the words you’ve never had the space to say, out loud, and without apology.

This isn’t just a “safe space.” It’s a real one. Rooted in lived experience. Unmasked. Authenticity.

If you’ve never felt like therapy was for you, maybe this is the start of something different.

I look forward to learning and growing together.

With magick,
