Background
As an adoptee who relocated to Canada, I possess a profound understanding of the complexities surrounding life transitions, cultural adaptation, and adoption. My personal experiences have fueled my passion for supporting clients navigating anxiety, trauma, identity issues, depression, low self-esteem, feelings of disconnection, and self-love deficiencies.
My volunteer work with African women and girls in rural areas, who have faced domestic violence, sexual abuse, and forced marriages, has granted me valuable insight into the impact of trauma on well-being and self-esteem. Additionally, I've had the privilege of being part of the healing journey for women overcoming childhood trauma, cultural challenges, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
My experience also extends to working with couples addressing various relationship challenges, such as navigating polyamorous dynamics, communication breakdowns, infidelity, and intimacy issues. These experiences have broadened my awareness of the complexities people face and the importance of self-discovery, purpose, and identity.
Beyond my professional life, I'm a visual artist who enjoys traveling, exhibiting my work, and embracing life's joys. Writing my life story, which explores my childhood in Malawi and adoption by my Canadian family, has been a thrilling experience.
