My Passion for Community:

A Lifelong Dedication to Creating Safe Spaces

Community has always been central to my journey. From providing peer support in HIV and LGBTQ+ spaces to partnering with organizations focused on safety and awareness, I’ve dedicated my life to fostering environments where individuals can connect, share, and grow. These experiences have profoundly shaped my counselling practice, showing me the transformative power of being seen, heard, and valued within a supportive network.

Long before I trained as a counsellor, my involvement in community work laid the foundation for my approach today. Whether managing safe social spaces in the LGBTQ+ scene, supporting HIV-focused groups, fostering open dialogue, or building inclusive online communities, I’ve consistently aimed to create spaces where individuals can be their authentic selves. These experiences have provided invaluable insights into the diverse challenges people face, deepening my empathy and understanding in ways that now guide my practice.

Why Community Matters in Counselling

Counselling and community are interconnected. A strong community provides a support network that complements therapy, reminding us that we’re not alone.

In my practice, I aim to recreate the sense of belonging I’ve experienced through community work. My approach is about more than listening—it’s about co-creating a space where your voice is valued, your journey is respected, and you feel genuinely supported.

Certified Community Manager & Beyond

My passion for community-building extends into the digital world. As a Meta Certified Community Manager and a member of Facebook’s Power Admins Global Program, I’ve honed my skills in creating inclusive, safe online spaces.

These experiences have shown me how online communities can provide real connections, advocacy, and support. I bring this understanding into my counselling work, ensuring that the spaces I create—both virtual and therapeutic—are welcoming and inclusive.

Empowering Through Community Engagement

Community engagement has the power to empower individuals, offering platforms for expression and shared understanding.

In my counselling practice, I carry these values into every session, providing a safe space where you can explore your experiences, connect with your insights, and feel supported on your journey. Just as I have supported communities, I’m here to support you.
