I started Worthy From Within Psychotherapy because I kept seeing the same person walk through the door.
Capable. Self-aware. High-functioning on the outside, quietly exhausted on the inside. Someone who had read the books, listened to the podcasts and could explain their patterns perfectly, and still couldn’t stop repeating them.
If that sounds like you, this practice was built for you.
I’ve spent about 8 years in school between my undergraduate and graduate education, and I’ve now spent the last 3 years working as a licensed therapist.
Why work with me?
My approach as a therapist is built for overthinkers, people pleasers and the anxious: it’s direct and warm. I’ll gently challenge you, hold you accountable and help you get to the root of your patterns, not just manage them. You’ll get focused, virtual sessions that fit your life, with the added support of clinical supervision behind our work. And you’ll never be judged for where you’re starting from.
The revitalized version of you is on the other side of starting. You’ve spent long enough carrying this on your own. Taking the first step doesn’t require having the right words or knowing exactly what you need. It’s just a free, no-pressure 15-minute call to see if we’re the right fit. If we are, we’ll book your first session. If not, I’ll help point you toward someone who is.
FAQs
Why did you become a therapist?
After struggling as an adolescent and into adulthood, I walked into therapy myself and stayed for three years. Sitting in that chair showed me what’s possible when someone helps you understand yourself at the root, not just get through the week. Over time, I realized I didn’t just want to listen; I wanted to do that for others.
As a Black female therapist, representation matters deeply to me. I know how meaningful it can be to sit across from someone who understands the unspoken parts: the pressure to be the strong one, cultural and family expectations, and the weight of always having to hold it together. Whatever your background, you’re welcome here, and if you’ve been looking for a Black therapist in Ontario who gets it, I’d be honoured to work with you.
Are you an overthinker too?
Absolutely. I know what it’s like to replay a conversation or rewrite a text five times before sending it. That’s part of why this work matters to me. I don’t see overthinking as a flaw. I see it as a mind that learned to work very hard to keep you safe, and it deserves understanding, not judgment.
What’s a session with you actually like?
Honestly, less formal than people expect. We talk like two real people, with structure underneath. I’ll ask questions, notice patterns out loud and sometimes gently challenge you. Some sessions feel light, others go deeper. Either way, you’ll never be rushed, judged or expected to have the right words.
What do you wish every overthinker knew?
That you’re not broken, and you’re not “too much.” The same mind that overthinks is also thoughtful, caring and deeply aware. You don’t need to get rid of who you are. You just need a different relationship with your thoughts, and you don’t have to figure that out alone.
