I strive to provide a compassionate, safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for you to feel comfortable to unburden yourself when it comes to the most personal and intimate parts of your life – one where you can explore and better understand yourself.

Through this process together, we can build on your strengths to develop resiliency, coping skills, tools, and strategies in order to help manage life more effectively. I view the counselling process as a collaborative one - a journey towards growth, reflection, self-discovery and positive change.

In working together, you will find that I work from client-centered as well as trauma-informed approaches, while blending techniques and strategies from Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT).

Do people misunderstand your identities, and try to place you in a box? Do you question your sense of belonging, and long to find a space of acceptance? Does your experience in the world leave you feeling anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed? Hello, my name is Angela, I am a Black Canadian therapist of Ugandan/British heritage. With a decade of experience, I have worked with children, youth, and families across various settings. My training in Applied Behavior Analysis allows me to observe patterns of behavior that impact a person’s ability to develop meaningful relationships. Using an interpersonal approach, I operate from a Trauma-informed, Anti-Oppressive, and Strengths-based lens. I draw from several modalities including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction.

You are the expert on your life and determine the direction of your growth. Together, we will work on your social-emotional goals, develop new skills, and uncover your inner strengths. It can be nerve-racking to begin therapy, especially if you have never engaged in therapy before. Anything new and unknown can be scary! It would be my honor to support you in reclaiming your joy for life. Individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds are welcome to book with me.

Areas of Focus: • Racial Trauma • Anxiety • Depression • Self-esteem

I support queer, neurodivergent, and racialized people to embrace the fullness of their being and find healing from racial, intergenerational, and relational trauma. Through a collaborative and non-pathologizing lens, my goal is to disrupt conventional understandings of therapy and co-create meaningful healing with you. Through building a genuine connection based in radical trust I aim to create a space to explore the expansive possibilities of your authentic self.

My work is rooted in recognizing the ways systemic oppression impacts mental health, and my understanding of healing is based in an anti-oppressive, anti-colonial, anti-racist framework that pursues justice and liberation for all oppressed communities.
