Who We Are

  • Founder

    While I am a professional, I am human first. I offer a blend of personal qualities and lived experiences, particularly my own journey through mental health struggles and addiction to the work I do with my clients. I also have a healthy respect for humour and sarcasm… My empathetic approach allows me to connect deeply with clients, drawing upon my own experiences to truly understand their emotions, challenges, and fears without judgment. Having navigated the path of healing and recovery myself, I create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and encouraged to explore their own journeys. My personal struggles have taught me patience, as I know firsthand that meaningful change takes time, and healing is a deeply personal process. My open-mindedness stems from understanding the many paths to recovery, enabling me to adapt my approach to meet the diverse needs of each client. Grounded in self-awareness and emotional stability, I draw strength from my own experiences of resilience, overcoming adversity, and rebuilding a life of purpose and fulfillment. My problem-solving skills are informed not only by professional expertise but also by the practical tools and strategies I used to overcome my own obstacles. This combination of professional knowledge and the authenticity of lived experience sets me apart, allowing me to connect with clients in a way that inspires hope, trust, and meaningful transformation.

Our approach

Roots of Empowerment offers respectful, individualized counselling in a safe environment for clients to express their feelings. We use trauma-informed methods to address mental health and tailor support to each person’s unique experiences. Guided by feminist values, we emphasize social justice and empowerment for marginalized groups. Our services are accessible and fair, recognizing that one approach does not fit all. We cater to individuals, couples, and families, aiming to provide quality mental health care to those facing barriers. We believe nurturing our roots supports individual and collective growth.
